Understanding Your Fertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Options
When it comes to fertility treatments like IVF, knowing when to begin can make all the difference in your journey. At Mount Sinai Fertility in Toronto, we believe that understanding your fertility gives you more control and opens up more options for treatments, including Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) such as IVF.
Why Timing Is Key
Age is a major factor in determining when to start fertility treatments. Here’s what we recommend:
- If you’re under 35 and have been trying to conceive for a year without success, it’s time to seek a fertility evaluation.
- If you’re over 35, an evaluation after six months of trying is advisable.
Starting early gives you more time and more control over your fertility options, including treatments like IVF. Early assessments can identify potential fertility issues, allowing you to explore Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) options sooner.
Key Factors to Consider
Several factors play a role in deciding when to pursue fertility treatments, including:
- Your age
- Your medical history
- Lifestyle and health factors
By identifying any underlying conditions early on, you can begin treatments such as IVF or other forms of Assisted Reproductive Technology, optimizing your chances of conception. Understanding your fertility empowers you to make informed decisions that suit your personal and family goals.
