When to see a specialist?
Infertility is a common problem affecting approximately 10% of couples.
Dr Lawrence provides all aspects of male and female infertility investigation and treatment including IVF.
Please note that the age of the female partner is critical to her fertility and the success rates of all fertility treatment including IVF. We recommend not waiting more than six months before assessment if the female partner is over the age of 35.
Obvious factors such as infrequent or very irregular periods, severe endometriosis or pelvic surgery warrant earlier assessment regardless of age.
Infertility is defined as a failure to conceive despite 12 months of timed, unprotected intercourse. Most spontaneous pregnancies occur in the first six months. We recommend assessment by your GP and then specialist referral if appropriate if pregnancy does not occur within 12 months.
