So when a couple is struggling to conceive, what is the normal course of action in terms of treatment and planning?
69:07
So a lot of it depends on age.

Uh, so for a couple who is under the age of 35, if the woman is having regular periods and there's no known problem, right? They don't have an issue that they already know about, then we recommend that a couple try for a year before seeking help.
69:26
If the woman is above the age of 35, we actually say, "See us in six months," because we wanna be more aggressive with the workup given the, the age.
69:35
So if there is a known issue though, you can see a fertility doctor sooner.
