“Am I infertile?”
If you’ve been trying to get pregnant for awhile, you may be wondering if you’re infertile. Some wonder if they might be infertile after just a few months, while others don’t get worried until a year or more has passed.
Infertility is defined as trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for more than one year, or experiencing multiple miscarriages.
For many couples, a year of trying without success is the first and only sign that something isn’t right. For others, there are symptoms that they may be an infertile couple before a year has passed.
Doctors suggest that you seek a fertility evaluation if you’ve experienced two or more miscarriages in a row, if you’ve been trying to conceive for more than a year, or -- if you’re over 35 -- if you’ve tried for more than six months. If you have infertility symptoms, however, you do not need to try for a year before seeing your doctor. This is one reason it’s good to know the symptoms of infertility.
