What Infertility Means and Why Early Evaluation Matters
Infertility affects millions of individuals and couples each year, but it doesn’t always mean you can’t conceive. This blog explains what infertility is, common signs to watch for, and why early medical evaluation is essential. Learn how Garden OB/GYN supports patients with advanced fertility care.
Infertility is a deeply personal and often emotional journey that affects millions of individuals and couples hoping to grow their families. At Garden OB/GYN, we understand how overwhelming it can feel when your path to parenthood doesn’t go as planned. The good news? Infertility doesn’t always mean impossibility.
What Is Infertility?
Infertility is typically defined as the inability to:
- Stay pregnant
- Conceive after one year of trying
- Conceive after six months of trying if you’re 35 or older
This definition serves as a helpful guide, but it’s important to remember that every fertility journey is unique. For some, challenges may arise after years of successful pregnancies. For others, the road may include unexplained delays or specific medical conditions.

Why Early Evaluation Matters
Infertility can be influenced by many underlying issues — from hormonal imbalances and ovulation disorders to uterine abnormalities or male factor infertility. That’s why early, comprehensive evaluation is so important. The sooner we understand what’s happening, the sooner we can create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Seeking help early doesn’t mean you’ve failed — it means you’re taking proactive steps toward building your family with the right medical support behind you.
