At ConceptionIVF, our fertility specialists and care team understand how many questions can arise when you’re trying to conceive or starting your pregnancy journey.

We recommend consulting a fertility expert if:
Seeking help doesn’t mean you’ve failed — it means you’re taking a proactive step toward your dream of parenthood.
The fertile window occurs in the days leading up to ovulation and on the day it happens. Ovulation usually takes place about 14 days before your next period.
For example, if your menstrual cycle lasts 30 days, you’re likely to ovulate around day 16. Having intercourse every other day between days 12–18 can increase your chances of conception.
Regular menstrual cycles are a good indicator of ovulation. You can track your cycle using a calendar, or use ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) available at pharmacies. Some women also notice mild pelvic discomfort or a change in cervical mucus during ovulation.
If your periods are irregular or you’re unsure whether you’re ovulating, it’s best to book a fertility consultation. Our specialists can perform hormonal evaluations and ultrasound scans to assess your ovulatory health.
To create a complete picture of your reproductive health, we usually recommend:

Not necessarily. Many people who undergo fertility treatment have perfectly healthy pregnancies. Whether you need a high-risk specialist (Maternal Fetal Medicine doctor) depends on your medical history and treatment type.
Our team collaborates with your OB/GYN to ensure seamless, personalized care throughout your pregnancy journey.
It depends on your specific diagnosis. Some individuals who conceive through IVF or IUI are later able to get pregnant naturally, especially if their fertility challenges were mild or temporary. Others, with conditions like blocked fallopian tubes or low ovarian reserve, may still need assistance.
If you’re considering expanding your family later, we recommend a fertility check-up to evaluate your current reproductive health.
We’ll continue to monitor your pregnancy until about 8–9 weeks gestation. Once your early ultrasounds confirm a healthy pregnancy, we’ll transfer your care to your OB/GYN or midwife. Our team will also help send your records and updates for a smooth transition.
