Frequently Asked Questions

How long should you try to conceive before seeing a GP in the UK?

According to NICE guidelines, if you're under 35 and have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success, you should speak to your GP. If you're over 35, it's recommended to seek advice after 6 months of trying, as fertility naturally declines with age. Remember, around 1 in 7 UK couples experience fertility issues, so you're certainly not alone.

Can fertility lubricants help when trying to get pregnant?

Yes, fertility-friendly lubricants like Conceive Plus are specifically formulated to support sperm survival and motility, unlike regular lubricants which can hinder sperm movement. They're designed to match the body's natural pH and are safe to use during your fertile window. Many couples in the UK use them as a first step whilst trying to conceive naturally.

What NHS fertility treatment is available for free in the UK?

NHS-funded fertility treatment varies depending on your local Integrated Care Board (ICB), with eligibility criteria differing across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. NICE recommends that women under 40 should be offered 3 full cycles of IVF, though many areas offer fewer due to funding constraints.

Is it normal to take 3 years to get pregnant?

Whilst most couples conceive within 1-2 years of trying, it can take longer for some, and this doesn't necessarily indicate a serious problem. The NHS states that 1 in 7 UK couples may experience difficulties conceiving, so extended conception journeys like Alice's are more common than many people realise. If you've been trying for over a year, it's advisable to seek support from your GP whilst continuing to try naturally.

What can I do to boost fertility naturally whilst TTC?

The NHS recommends maintaining a healthy weight, reducing alcohol intake, stopping smoking, and taking folic acid supplements when trying to conceive. Using fertility-friendly lubricants, tracking your ovulation cycle, and considering fertility supplements containing ingredients like myo-inositol may also support your chances. Reducing stress where possible and ensuring both partners focus on their health can make a positive difference.

Do I need a prescription for fertility lubricants in the UK?

No, fertility lubricants like Conceive Plus are available without a prescription and can be purchased online or from pharmacies and retailers across the UK. They're regulated as medical devices and are safe to use when trying to conceive. Many couples find them a helpful and affordable first step before exploring further fertility options.
