Starting a family is an exciting journey, but it can also come with its fair share of challenges, particularly when it comes to conception. Many couples face difficulties in achieving or sustaining a pregnancy, with 1 in 8 experiencing infertility regardless of their background. Knowing when to seek assistance is crucial, with factors such as time and age playing a significant role.
In this blog post, we explore the top reasons why early fertility testing and treatment can significantly increase the odds of success.
Age plays a critical role for both women and men. For couples, infertility is being unable to conceive after a year of trying – unless the woman is 35 or older. In that case, couples should seek treatment after six months of trying without success. When the woman is 40 or over, speaking with a specialist should happen as soon as you decide it is the right time to start a family. That is because of the quantity and quality of eggs women have, which decrease with age. But age is not the only factor for women. Male fertility starts to decline around 40 years old when sperm quality decreases, which reduces the chance of pregnancy and increases the time to pregnancy, and resulting pregnancies are more likely to result in miscarriage.
Cost is another important consideration. For many women who wait longer to start families, invasive procedures, like IVF, may be tried earlier to increase the chances of conception. Younger women are more likely to have a better reserve of quality eggs, meaning they are more likely to be successful with less invasive methods like fertility medications or intrauterine insemination (IUI). Not only are these treatments less invasive–they are less expensive than more involved procedures.
Health Awareness is also crucial. The fertility workup patients receive when they start treatment can provide a wealth of general health information. For many men and women, infertility can be due to an underlying health issue they weren’t aware they had. These issues (such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or thyroid diseases) can cause several health problems, ranging from hypertension to depression. Learning that you have an underlying problem is the first step to taking charge of your fertility health.
Fertility Preservation is another option for women looking to delay parenthood. Time is still of the essence! IVF FLORIDA is committed to proactive fertility management and provides Fertility Awareness Check-Ups for women aged 21-44. This evaluation is designed to help you make informed decisions and maximize your chances of conception. With IVF FLORIDA's Fertility Awareness Check-Up, you can benefit from a blood test and transvaginal ultrasound that assesses your reproductive health. Our tests consider all the factors that contribute to fertility, such as hormonal balance, ovarian reserve, and uterine health.
Women can also preserve their future fertility through egg freezing, enabling them to build a family when the time is right. However, women considering this option should move forward as soon as possible to increase their chances of success. As egg quality and quantity decline as women age, women who choose to freeze their eggs earlier have a higher likelihood of freezing enough high-quality eggs to give them the best chance of conceiving later in life.

Are you feeling the pressure of your biological clock while you're focused on building your career, finding the perfect partner, or just not ready for motherhood yet? Well, guess what? You're not alone! And here's some exciting news: egg freezing can be your secret weapon in taking control of your future family plans.
At IVF FLORIDA, we understand that every woman's journey is unique, and that's why we're here to answer all your questions about egg freezing. Get ready, because we're about to dive into the top FAQs and help you navigate this empowering process like a boss!
What is egg freezing, anyway?
Egg freezing is preserving your fertility by retrieving some of your eggs from your ovaries, freezing them, and storing them for future use. It's like hitting the pause button on your fertility until you're ready to press play!
Who should consider egg freezing?
While age is just a number, we recommend egg freezing for women between the ages of 30 and 40, ideally in their early-to-mid-30s. If you've got a family history of premature ovarian failure or early menopause, you might want to consider it even earlier. Think of egg freezing as an insurance policy for your eggs!
How does egg freezing work?
In a natural menstrual cycle, your body produces one superstar egg. But with egg freezing, we're all about quantity! We use special medications that mimic the ones your body produces to stimulate your ovaries. This magic combo helps your ovaries produce multiple mature eggs (or follicles). Once they are ready, we gently retrieve them with a minimally invasive procedure. Those mature eggs then go through a "flash-freeze" process called vitrification, and voilà, they're safely stored in liquid nitrogen for as long as you need them!
How does IVF FLORIDA choose candidates for egg freezing?
We've got your back! To determine if egg freezing is right for you, we'll start with some simple diagnostic testing. We'll check your ovarian reserve (that's a fancy way of saying we'll measure your reproductive hormone levels and see how many eggs you've got). Then, we'll combine those results with your medical history, and our team of experts will give you personalized recommendations. It's like having a fertility fairy godmother!
Does IVF FLORIDA support cancer patients?
Absolutely! We understand that life doesn't always go according to plan, especially when it comes to an unexpected cancer diagnosis. That's why our fertility specialists work closely with newly diagnosed patients and their cancer teams. We offer immediate consultation and the best preservation options based on your cancer treatment plan. We'll even coordinate with your cancer therapies because we believe hope and dreams should never take a backseat!
