When to See a Fertility Specialist
Knowing when to take the next step is an important part of your fertility journey. You might be just starting to think about your options or are already trying to grow your family. Meeting with a fertility specialist can give you clarity, confidence, and a personalized plan for moving forward. IVF Florida’s board-certified reproductive endocrinologists offer expert guidance and advanced care tailored to your goals.
When to consider seeing a fertility specialist
While every family-building journey is different, certain signs may indicate it’s time to consult a reproductive endocrinologist. We recommend scheduling an appointment if any of the following apply:
- You’re under 35, have regular cycles, and have been trying to conceive for 12 months or more
- You’re 35 or older, have regular cycles, and have been trying for 6 months or more
- You’re 40 or older and would like an immediate evaluation
- You’ve had irregular or absent menstrual cycles
- You have a known or suspected condition such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, or a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- You’ve experienced recurrent pregnancy loss
- You or your partner have a known genetic condition or fertility concern
- You’ve had prior medical treatment that may affect fertility (such as chemotherapy or radiation)
- You’re considering donor sperm, donor eggs, or gestational surrogacy
- You want to preserve your fertility for the future
Even if you’re not planning to begin treatment right away, a consultation can provide helpful information into the aspects of fertility, evaluate certain crucial components of conceiving and help create a path forward that works for you.
What to expect at your first visit
Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive review of your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any previous fertility testing or treatments. You’ll meet with a fertility specialist to discuss your goals and determine next steps, which may include diagnostic testing or treatment planning. Our care team is here to listen, support, and guide you.
