And when should I consult a specialist?
Infertility is more common than you think. Here we explain the signs that indicate it’s time to consult a specialist.
The decision to have a baby is one of the most exciting moments in a couple’s life. They stop using contraception, dream about the future, and eagerly await each month. But what happens when the months go by and that positive test doesn’t arrive?
It’s normal to feel frustration, sadness, and even guilt. However, the first thing you should know is that you’re not alone. Infertility is a much more common medical condition than you might think, and thanks to current technology, the vast majority of cases have a solution.

Most procedures are minimally invasive and are performed with anesthesia or pain-reduction measures.
It depends on the couple’s age, diagnosis, method used, and overall health. A specialist can estimate your personalized probability.
Female fertility declines significantly from the age of 35 due to the quantity and quality of the eggs.
Egg, sperm or embryo donation can be used.
