I think the hardest thing for most people is just walking through the door. Number one, they’re not alone. Infertility is not uncommon. We have been able to successfully treat thousands of patients. There is hope.
And I think until you really learn what your options are, learn how fertility treatment works and things, you haven’t really given yourself the best chance. If you’re under the age of thirty five and you have been trying to get pregnant on your own for longer than a year, you should consider seeking a fertility evaluation. If you’re over thirty five and you’ve been trying for more than six months, we would recommend that you seek out, you know, a fertility evaluation. If you’re forty or over, I would recommend that person come and talk to me immediately just about what their options might be. I think some of the worst scenarios sometimes people can put themselves in is waiting too long to seek out some assistance.
Because depending on age and other things, you know, time might not be on their side, and certainly their prognosis will be better the sooner that they could come in to see somebody like me.
