Infertility evaluation looks for factors that may affect conception and should consider both partners where applicable. Timing depends on age, health history, menstrual pattern, previous treatment and how long pregnancy has been attempted.
When to seek evaluation
General guidance often recommends assessment after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse, after 6 months when the female partner is older than 35, and earlier when the female partner is over 40 or when a known fertility concern exists. Individual circumstances can justify earlier review.
What evaluation may include
Assessment may include medical and reproductive history, examination, ovulation evaluation, ultrasound or tubal assessment when indicated, and semen analysis. Not every person needs every test, and a single result should be interpreted in context.
Treatment is individualized
Options depend on the identified factors and may include timed care, medicines, surgery, intrauterine insemination, IVF or other assisted-reproduction approaches. No online page or supplement can promise pregnancy.
Supportive care and Ayurveda
Sleep, balanced nutrition, tobacco avoidance, mental-health support and management of existing conditions can support general health. Ayurvedic care may be discussed as supportive wellness, but it should not delay fertility evaluation or replace evidence-based treatment. Herbs and supplements require interaction and pregnancy-safety review.
