When Should a Couple Consult a Fertility Specialist?
Most fertility specialists suggest a consultation after trying to conceive for one year without success if the woman is under 35, or after six months if she is 35 or older.

These guides explain fertility care in plain language, so couples in Kondapur, Gachibowli, Madhapur, HITEC City and across Hyderabad can walk into a first consultation already knowing the right questions to ask. Each article is general education, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan, and is published only after medical review by Dr. Spoorthy Chennamaneni.
If you would rather talk it through, you can book a consultation at our clinic on My Home Mangala Main Road, Camelot Layout, above Starbucks, Kondapur. Meet the doctor on the Dr. Spoorthy Chennamaneni page or see Contact and Directions. See All treatments at our Kondapur clinic.
Start here if you have been trying for a while and are not sure what the first step looks like. For a one-to-one visit, see our fertility specialist in Kondapur page and fertility testing for both partners. Related pages: PCOD and PCOS care, low sperm count, varicocele and hysteroscopy.

A fertility evaluation is a structured process of history-taking and testing for both partners, used to understand what may be affecting a couple's ability to conceive.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a blood test commonly used to estimate ovarian reserve: a general indicator of the number of eggs remaining, not their quality.
When pregnancy does not happen as expected, a few simple tests can help explain why.
Fertility evaluation is for both partners. These guides explain what a male evaluation looks at and how to read the report. For a consultation, see low sperm count care in Kondapur and varicocele evaluation.
Male infertility evaluation typically starts with a detailed history taking, examination followed by semen analysis, which looks at sperm count, movement (motility), and shape (morphology).
A semen analysis can look simple on paper and confusing in practice.
If you are weighing up IUI and IVF, start here, then read how each is arranged at our clinic: IUI treatment in Kondapur and IVF treatment in Kondapur.
Many couples come to their first fertility consultation with one question: should we start with IUI or go straight to IVF? There is no single right answer.
These guides follow an IVF cycle in order, from planning to the pregnancy test. For how treatment is organised at our clinic, see IVF treatment in Kondapur, IUI treatment and ICSI treatment.
IVF is often described as one treatment, but for patients it feels more like a series of small milestones.
For many patients, IVF starts to feel real when the injections begin.
Repeated scans can make IVF feel like a sequence of measurements.
Egg retrieval is one of the most anticipated parts of IVF because it is both a procedure and a major treatment milestone.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a laboratory technique used alongside IVF, in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to help fertilization occur.
For many people, embryo transfer is the moment an IVF cycle suddenly feels very real.
The days after embryo transfer can feel strangely quiet.
After embryo transfer, many patients want to test as soon as possible.
For women who want to understand their options before deciding anything. See egg freezing at Conceiva Fertility for how a consultation and assessment are arranged.
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) is a process where a woman's eggs are retrieved, frozen, and stored for potential future use.
Every article on this page is written for patients and reviewed by Dr. Spoorthy Chennamaneni, Gynaecologist and Fertility Specialist (FRM), before it is published. The articles describe how evaluation and treatment generally work; they do not replace a consultation, and they never promise a result. Your own tests, history and plan are discussed with you in person at the clinic.
No. They are general information to help you prepare for a conversation with a doctor. Decisions about tests or treatment are made with a specialist who knows your history.
Each article is reviewed by Dr. Spoorthy Chennamaneni before it goes live, and the review is noted at the end of the article.
