There are a wide variety of fertility treatment options available. My first question would be how long have you had trouble conceiving? Some couples who report trouble conceiving have only tried a month and others have been trying for years. It is typically recommended if you're under the age of 35 to attempt conceiving for 1 year before seeking help from a reproductive endocrinologist or if you are over the age of 35, 6 months. If you have any known medical conditions that could make it difficult for you to conceive, you can consult with a specialist much sooner. That being said, after attempting conception for the recommended about of time, you should consult with a reproductive endocrinologist to discuss what treatment options are available to you. Other options that may be available to you are the use of oral ovulation induction medications such as Clomid or Femara, as well as artificial insemination.
