If you're younger than 35 years old and have been trying to conceive for 1 year without success, you should go see a fertility specialist to get infertility testing.

If you are 35 or older, you should try to conceive for 6 months before considering reaching out to a fertility doctor for testing.

If you are 40 or older, Dr. Johnson recommends you go in immediately for fertility testing. If you want to try naturally first, you should try naturally for a maximum of 3 months before seeing a fertility doctor.

Additionally, you should reach out to a fertility doctor if you have:
-irregular periods
-uterine fibroids
-male factor infertility
-stage III/IV endometriosis

Should I see a fertility doctor after a miscarriage?

If you experience recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), you should see a fertility doctor immediately.

Recurrent pregnancy loss is not the same as experiencing infertility.

Recurrent pregnancy loss is when a woman has had a miscarriage of 2 or more clinical pregnancies.

A clinical pregnancy is one in which here is a positive beta hCG and a fetal heartbeat or gestational sac has been detected by ultrasound.
