For how many months/years should we try to conceive before talking to a doctor when it's not "working"?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

3 main causes: After 12 months of trying testing is needed. 1. Ovulation problems. You have to release an egg to be able to get pregnant 2. Sperm problems - you have to have available sperm to fertilize the egg. 3. Anatomy problems - there has to be a clear path for the sperm to be able to fertilize the egg.
