When do I visit a fertility speciality?

Couples who have been trying to get pregnant for months without success may be wondering when to seek help from a fertility specialist. If there is no pregnancy in young couples after sexual intercourse regularly every 2-3 days, without using any contraceptive methods for one whole year, advise and evaluation is from a specialist is required. This enables to exclude any problems with the egg, sperm, tubes, Uterus, hormones etc. However, this time frame of 1 year does not apply for the following couples:

• Men with sexual problems like erection and ejaculation difficulties.
• Men with known testicular problems.
• Couple with medical conditions like thyroid disorder, diabetes, hypertension, under psychiatric treatment, etc.
