Infertility Support & Conception Planning
What is Infertility?
Infertility is a medical condition characterized by the inability to conceive a child after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or six months for women over 35), or the inability to carry a pregnancy to term. It can affect individuals or couples and may result from a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, physical abnormalities, lifestyle factors, or underlying medical conditions. Both men and women can experience infertility, and it often requires medical evaluation and treatment to address.
What is Conception Planning?
Conception planning involves preparing individuals or couples for a healthy and successful pregnancy. This proactive approach focuses on optimizing health and addressing factors that may affect fertility or the ability to conceive. It typically includes education, medical assessments, lifestyle modifications, and guidance to improve the chances of achieving and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
Conception planning is personalized to each person or couple and often includes steps like tracking ovulation, managing chronic conditions, and ensuring overall reproductive health.
What to expect at an Infertility and Conception Planning visit?
At Elite Comprehensive Care, we understand that seeking help for infertility can be an emotional journey, and we are here to provide compassionate, personalized care. During your infertility consultation, we will begin by reviewing your detailed medical history, including menstrual cycles, previous pregnancies, contraceptive use, and any underlying health conditions. If applicable, we will also discuss your partner’s medical and reproductive history.
A physical examination may be conducted to assess for underlying conditions, along with diagnostic testing such as bloodwork to evaluate hormone levels, ovulation tracking, ultrasound imaging of the reproductive organs, or semen analysis. We will evaluate lifestyle factors like nutrition, stress, and exercise that may influence fertility and create a tailored treatment plan, which could include lifestyle modifications, first-line fertility treatments like ovulation induction, or referrals to specialists for advanced care when needed. Throughout the process, we will provide education about your options and emotional support to guide you confidently on your path to parenthood.
