If you have been trying to get pregnant for a long time without any success, then it is a possibility that you need to go for a fertility treatment. However, before making this decision, here are a few things you should know. Women under the age of 35 years should try for at least a year before thinking about going to a fertility specialist. Women over the age of 35 years should try for six months before consulting a specialist. Most people think there might be a problem after trying for 1 or 2 months, but that is not the case. Sometimes, it can take longer to conceive naturally. The key is to be patient, relax and let nature take its course. Try to adjust your lifestyle and eating habits as these might be the cause of being unable to get pregnant. Many women who smoke or drink too much or who are overweight have trouble conceiving but slight adjustments can easily assist in getting you on the family way. If even after a year of continuous trying with a healthy lifestyle you are unable to get pregnant, then its best to consult your doctor and discuss fertility treatment options. Although it is a commonly known fact that chances of getting pregnant reduce as your age increases, but in today’s medically advanced times, 40 and 50 year old women are also able to bear healthy children. So there is no need to get worried if you do not succeed. When you seek professional help, the doctor can determine the cause of the problem. Sometimes it can be a simple problem such as irregular ovulation or a low sperm count. There are numerous fertility treatments available including ovulation pills such as clomid, IUI and IVf which have helped numerous couples get pregnant.
