Is it time to ask for help?
Many couples wonder what to do if they are trying to conceive, but are not successful. This issue is very important and is discussed in a new audio course, Preparing for a Healthy Pregnancy, by American Pregnancy Association Medical Advisory Board member, Dr. Sebastian Faro.
Generally, health care providers let couples try for 6 months before evaluating for infertility and offering medical assistance in conceiving. However, they may perform this evaluation and offer reproductive assistance sooner if a problem conceiving is anticipated due to an underlying health problem, menstrual irregularity, medications, or a history of difficulty conceiving in the past. This is one good reason to see a health care provider 3 months before you start trying to become pregnant so that an appropriate time interval for unassisted conception can be chosen and complications can be avoided.

for a Healthy Pregnancy, Dr. Sebastian Faro’s 3-CD portable

and pregnancy by explaining current recommendations and providing
