When to See a Fertility Specialist in Hyderabad
Dr. Sravya Buggana, fertility specialist in Hyderabad
Many couples see a fertility specialist after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse if the woman is under 35, and after 6 months if she is 35 to 39. From age 40, or when periods are very irregular, tubes may be blocked, or a semen test is already abnormal, an earlier visit is reasonable. Dr. Sravya Buggana consults at Alkapur Township, Hyderabad.
How long to try before booking
Time matters because ovarian reserve and egg quality change with age, and because some causes of infertility do not improve with waiting. A practical guide used in reproductive medicine is:
- Under 35: seek an evaluation if pregnancy has not occurred after 12 months of trying.
- Age 35 to 39: seek an evaluation after 6 months.
- Age 40 or older: discuss an evaluation soon, even if you have been trying for only a few months.
These intervals assume regular cycles and no known reproductive problem. They are a starting point, not a rule that forces you to wait.
Reasons to book sooner in Hyderabad
Book without waiting out a full year if any of the following apply:
- Cycles are very irregular, absent, or unusually painful. PCOS and endometriosis are common reasons.
- You already know of blocked or removed fallopian tubes, pelvic infection, or previous pelvic surgery.
- There have been two or more miscarriages.
- A semen analysis has shown a low count, low motility, or another abnormality. See male infertility care.
- Either partner is about to start treatment that can affect fertility, such as chemotherapy.
- You want to understand low AMH or pregnancy planning after 35 before you lose time.
What the first visit usually covers
The first consultation is a history and a plan for tests. It is not a commitment to IVF. Dr. Sravya Buggana reviews cycle length, previous pregnancies, surgeries, medicines, and how long you have been trying. Tests are chosen from that history. They often include a semen analysis, an ultrasound, and blood tests timed to the cycle. Tubal testing and ovulation treatment are discussed only when they fit the findings.
Bring any old reports, even if they are from another clinic in Hyderabad. Repeating a test is sometimes necessary, but old results still change the plan.
Why both partners are evaluated
A fertility problem can sit with either partner or with both. Evaluating only one person delays care. A semen analysis is a standard early test for the male partner. The female partner’s cycle, uterus, tubes, and ovarian reserve are reviewed in parallel. Treatment, whether that is cycle tracking, IUI, or IVF, depends on both results.

Common questions
How long should we try before seeing a fertility doctor in Hyderabad?
If the woman is under 35, many specialists suggest an evaluation after 12 months of trying. From 35 to 39, six months is a common threshold. At 40 or older, book sooner.
Should I wait a year if my periods are irregular?
No. Very irregular or absent periods are a reason to consult earlier, because ovulation may not be happening regularly.
Does the male partner need testing at the first visit?
Yes. A semen analysis is a usual early test. Fertility care looks at both partners.
