Fertility

For ladies who are considering contraceptive options for family planning, you can discuss with our gynaecologists on the most appropriate birth control option depending on your lifestyle, age and needs.

The general rule of thumb to consider seeking medical help for fertility would be:

For women below 35 years old, who have been unable to conceive after 1 year of trying
For women above 35 years old, who have been unable to conceive after 6 months of trying
(for women with underlying gynaecological conditions, the risk of infertility is higher and hence they will need to seek help even before the 6-month mark)

Seeking help early is important because age has a critical impact on fertility. Fertility gradually begins declining after 30, especially after 35. By 40, the odds of conceiving are less than 5 per cent each month and the chances further drop to as low as 1 percent in the 45 – 49 age range. An older age also comes with increased risk of miscarriage and pregnancy complications.

A gynaecologist that specializes in fertility would be able to assess the issue and recommend the various courses of action that can be taken. It will all begin with a fertility assessment, also frequently referred to as a fertility work-up. Subsequently, based on your specific condition and priorities, your gynaecologist will discuss the most suitable options for you.
