Try Conceiving Naturally Before Fertility Escalation

Try to conceive naturally for a set period before escalating to fertility treatment, with the waiting time adjusted by age. A common approach is roughly 5–6 months for women 30 and under, about 6–7 months in the early 30s, around 9–12 months in the mid-to-late 30s, and earlier consultation at 38 or older. This balances giving conception a fair chance with avoiding unnecessary delay when age-related fertility decline makes time more important.
