Who Can Check My Fertility?

And why waiting for a problem isn't the only option

If you’ve ever wondered who you’re supposed to talk to about your fertility - welcome to the club. It’s a question we hear all the time.

Many women are told to “just try for a year” before getting tested. Others are brushed off when they ask questions before they’re actively trying. The truth? You don’t have to wait for a problem to get clarity.

So, who can check your fertility? Let’s break it down.

Your OB-GYN or Primary Care Provider

Your doctor can order fertility tests - but not all do. Many providers won’t recommend checking your hormone levels unless you’ve been trying to conceive without success for 6-12 months (depending on your age).

The challenge: If you’re not trying yet - or just want a proactive snapshot - you may be told to “wait and see.”

A Fertility Clinic

Fertility clinics specialize in testing and treatments like IVF and egg freezing. If you’re exploring options like freezing your eggs or starting treatment, a clinic will likely run a full panel of blood tests and ultrasounds.

The challenge: These visits can be expensive, time-consuming, and may feel like “too much” if you’re just trying to understand where you stand.
