Ninety percent of fertile couples conceive with in a year. So it's usually our recommendation, if you're under thirty-five years old, to give it a good nine months to a year. If in nine months the two of you are a little bit eager, and you want to be proactive, then I would maybe recommend seeing your healthcare professional and talking about your concerns, and then you can kind of start the ball rolling. For women over thirty-five, your ability to conceive is a little bit more difficult. So, we'd probably look into that a little bit more, and usually people recommend six months. After six months at over thirty-five years old, then I would probably seek medical advice as to how you would proceed.
