Struggling to Conceive? When to Consider Infertility Testing

Struggling to Conceive? When to Consider Infertility Testing

Trying to get pregnant can be fun, emotional, and frustrating. For many couples, it happens sooner than expected. For others, month after month passes, and questions start to creep in. Is this normal? Should we be worried? When is it time to look a little deeper?

At Nile Women’s Health Care, we understand how personal and sensitive fertility concerns can be. Our role is to support you with thoughtful guidance, education, and compassionate care — especially when you’re unsure what your next step should be.

How long is “too long” to try?

There’s no single timeline that works for everyone, but we can give you some medical guidelines as helpful benchmarks. In general, infertility testing may be worth considering if:

Don’t let these timelines pressure you — they simply help identify when additional information could be helpful rather than waiting and wondering.

What infertility testing actually means

The phrase infertility testing may sound intimidating, but don’t worry; it usually starts with relatively basic, noninvasive steps. Our goal is to better understand what might be affecting conception — not to jump straight to complex treatments.

Early fertility evaluation often includes a combination of:

In many cases, these initial evaluations uncover manageable issues or simply provide reassurance that things are progressing normally.

Why timing matters

The ability to reproduce naturally changes with age, especially for women. Ovulation patterns, egg quality, and hormonal balance can shift over time, sometimes without obvious symptoms. 

Addressing concerns earlier allows for better planning and informed decisions — whether that means adjusting expectations, addressing underlying health factors, or knowing when a referral to a fertility specialist might be appropriate.

How Nile Women’s Health Care supports you

When you’re trying to get pregnant, we’ve got you covered with basic infertility evaluation and preconception counseling as part of comprehensive gynecologic care.

We help by:

Our approach is never rushed or one-size-fits-all. We believe understanding your body is empowering — and that information can bring clarity during uncertain moments.

Trust your instincts — and ask questions

If something doesn’t feel quite right, or if trying to conceive has become more stressful than hopeful, call us. Asking questions doesn’t mean something is wrong — it means you’re taking proactive steps to ensure the growth of your family.

If you’re struggling to conceive or simply want expert insight on whether infertility testing makes sense for you, schedule a visit with Nile Women’s Health Care in Roswell or Johns Creek, Georgia. We’re here to listen, answer questions, and help you take the next step with confidence.
