The specifics: The cited average is 6 mo of trying before a desired pregnancy. If you try for a year or more without luck, it is time for you and partner to be evaluated at a fertility center. Check with your local doc to see what is available. As a USA based site, we have no information on local services around the world where this site is seen.
