Faster time to preg: As discussed before, there are several pros and cons. Ultimately treatments speed up the time to achieve pregnancy. Cost and multiples are some of the biggest challenges.

Mostly pros: Other great answers but also consider who is providing the treatments and why. You need an accurate diagnosis to get effective treatment otherwise longer and mosre cost. If you do not see a specialist then be careful to avoid trendy non-proven approaches such as supplements and herbs. Alternative medicine fine but usually as help for traditional care.
