In this episode of Fertility with Jaya, I walk you through one of the most common questions I get asked:

How long should you try to get pregnant naturally before seeking help or jumping straight into IVF?

I’ll explain what the official guidelines say, when those don’t apply, and what most couples miss before starting treatment. I also break down my 7-step preconception framework that helps shorten the fertility journey and improve outcomes naturally and medically.

If your journey has felt overwhelming or stuck in limbo, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a plan.
