Fertility specialists
If you have been trying for a while without success, your GP is the place to start, and can refer you on for specialist help.

How long does it take to conceive?
The answer is different for every couple, and factors like age, other medical conditions, and smoking and vaping can all make a difference. On average, about 85% of couples actively trying to conceive will do so within 12 months, and about 91% within three years.
If you have been trying for 12 months without success, see your GP for a check-up and to talk about a referral to a fertility specialist.
Local fertility specialists
Your GP can refer you to local private and public obstetricians and gynaecologists for fertility advice.
