We’ve been trying to get pregnant for a while. When should we get help?

If you have been trying to conceive for a year or more without success, it is time to see a doctor. For women aged 35 years or older, speak to your GP after trying for six months or more.

Where can I find more information about men’s health and fertility?

  • The Healthy Male website provides the latest scientific and medical research on male reproductive and sexual health.
  • The Your Fertility website provides facts about fertility, so that you can make the best possible decisions about having children.
  • Make an appointment to talk to your GP about preconception health and trying for a baby.
