When must I see a Fertility Specialist?

If you answer yes to any of these questions you need to see a Fertility Specialist:

  • If you are under 35, have you been having regular unprotected intercourse for 12 months without a pregnancy?
  • If you are over 35, have you been having regular unprotected intercourse for 6 months without a pregnancy?
  • Have you had more than one miscarriage?
  • Do you have painful periods?
  • Do you have irregular cycles?
  • Do you or your partner have a history of STDs?

IFAASA urges you to become your own advocate for your reproductive health.
