Of course! It almost seems stupid to say it, now doesn't it? But the main and overriding symptom of infertility is the inability to get pregnant. But beyond that there are telltale signs that may indicate your infertility -- whether you're a woman or a man.
For example, many infertile women have irregular menstrual periods. This symptom alone would make it difficult to conceive. Men who are infertile may exhibit signs indicating hormonal problem. This condition could appear as a change in hair growth or even sexual function.
For most couples, the time to visit a doctor about this problem is after a year of struggling to have a baby. There are several exceptions to this suggestion though. Don't wait until a year has passed if you're a female older than 30 and have had no menstrual periods for six months. Visit your doctor as soon as you can.
Similarly, visit your physician before the completion of the year of trying to conceive if, as a woman, you've had a history of irregular or painful periods. This would include pelvic pain, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), endometriosis, and even a history of repeated miscarriages.
Men should visit their doctor prior to that one year mark if they know they possess a low sperm count or have a history of testicular or prostate problems or sexual problems in general.
For any of these conditions, there's no need to wait for a year of failed attempts. The sooner you enlist the aid of your physician, the sooner he can discover the root cause -- and hopefully -- send you on your way, one step closer to family bliss.
