Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I try to conceive before seeing my GP?

The NHS recommends visiting your GP if you haven't conceived after one year of regular unprotected sex, or after six months if you're over 36. Around 1 in 7 UK couples experience fertility issues, so don't hesitate to seek advice if you're concerned. Your GP can run initial tests and refer you to a fertility specialist if needed.

Can fertility lubricants really help you get pregnant?

Standard lubricants can sometimes hinder sperm movement, which is why fertility-friendly lubricants like Conceive Plus are formulated to be sperm-safe. These products are designed to match the pH and consistency of fertile cervical mucus, creating a more supportive environment for conception. They're not a medical treatment but can be a helpful addition to your TTC journey.

What fertility supplements should I take when trying for a baby UK?

The NHS recommends all women trying to conceive take 400 micrograms of folic acid daily to help prevent neural tube defects. Additional supplements containing ingredients like myo-inositol may help support hormone balance and ovulation, particularly for women with irregular cycles. Always check with your GP or pharmacist before starting any new supplements.

Am I eligible for free fertility treatment on the NHS?

NHS fertility treatment eligibility varies depending on your Integrated Care Board (formerly CCG), and criteria can include age, BMI, whether you already have children, and how long you've been trying. NICE guidelines recommend offering three full cycles of IVF to eligible women under 40, though many areas offer fewer. Contact your GP to understand what funding is available in your local area.

How can I improve my chances of getting pregnant naturally?

Maintaining a healthy weight, reducing alcohol in

take, stopping smoking, and managing stress can all support your fertility. Tracking your cycle to identify your fertile window and having regular sex every two to three days can also help maximise your chances. Using fertility-friendly lubricants and taking recommended supplements may provide additional support during your conception journey.

What does the NHS fertility referral process involve?

Your GP will typically start with basic tests including blood tests to check hormone levels and a semen analysis for your partner. If initial results suggest further investigation is needed, you'll be referred to a specialist fertility clinic, though NHS waiting times can vary significantly across the UK. The HFEA website provides useful information about what to expect from fertility clinics and treatments.

Is it possible to get pregnant after being told you can't conceive?

Many women who've been told they may struggle to conceive have gone on to have successful pregnancies, sometimes naturally and sometimes with assistance. Fertility can change over time, and advances in treatments and supplements continue to help couples on their journey. While everyone's situation is different, maintaining hope and exploring all available options with your healthcare provider is always worthwhile.
