When should you visit a fertility specialist?
An average woman in her thirties has a 15% to 20% chance of getting pregnant in an average month.

What happens during your first appointment?
One of the initial things the fertility specialty will want to know is whether or not you're ovulating. At your first meeting with the doctor, he or she will go over your medical history and then outline the fertility tests you and your partner will need to have. For men, the basic test for infertility, semen analysis (SA), will be performed, in which a sample of ejaculate is evaluated in a lab.
