Are you trying to conceive and looking for help, advice and support?
Here at Innermost, we offer a range of expert services including targeted advice (on lifestyle, nutrition and exercise), tests and investigations, medical treatments (such as Clomid) and complementary therapies (acupuncture). A consultation with one of our specialist doctors will help you to consider your options and talk through what’s right for you. Many of our patients choose to start their care with us; if you later decide to try IVF and other assisted reproductive treatments, we’ll refer you to the most appropriate NHS or private service. Whatever your choice, you’ll be supported at every step of the way.
When to Seek Help and Advice
Most couples under the age of 35 having regular mid-cycle sex will conceive within a year; for others it may take longer. There are many reasons why this may happen. About two thirds of couples experiencing delays in conception find out that there’s a fertility issue with one partner; in the remaining couples either both partners have fertility issues or no cause is found. A programme of careful testing can often identify treatable causes and then help you to choose the right option to help you conceive and have a baby.
You should think about seeking medical advice if:
- You are younger than 35 and have not been able to conceive after one year of frequent sex without contraception.
- You are age 35 or older and have not been able to conceive after six months of frequent sex without contraception.
- You believe you or your partner might have fertility problems in the future (even before you begin trying to get pregnant).
