There is a close relationship between fertility potential and a woman’s age often as a woman’s biologic “clock is ticking”.

When one considers the first step to do a comprehensive reliable fertility screening to determine your present ovarian reserve.

With any couple, there is no guarantee that pregnancy will be successful even if they have timed intercourse on the exact day of ovulation.

At any age, even a woman as young as 18, there is no certainty that all eggs are genetically normal.

The timing of intercourse is very important because the egg is only viable for several days and after that, it will be difficult for the sperm to penetrate and fertilize the egg. Therefore, even with perfectly timed intercourse with a healthy egg and great sperm, and no other fertility factors present – the likelihood of getting pregnant in a young couple is 25% each month.

Many doctors believed that couples should try a full year before seeing a fertility specialist. It has been my practice and strong belief in over 30 years of experience that every couple deserves a full and complete evaluation even before they try to conceive.
