Mistake No. 8: Approaching the Expert Too Late

The rule better late than never does not apply to conception. Consulting a

fertility specialist sooner rather than later is the best move. "If you're 35 or

older, you should see a fertility specialist after six months of trying without

success," Dr. Chen says. And if you're younger and have irregular periods

or a history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), ectopic pregnancy,

pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or other health issues that may affect

fertility or pregnancy, Dr. Chen says it's a good idea to seek out a specialist

right away.
