Much of the first appointment with a fertility specialist will focus on the review of your overall medical history and discussion about the possibility of male-factor issues. The fertility specialist may ask you to have blood tests done or go for a pelvic exam, and might also prescribe tests for the male or female partner. If these tests are already been done, the doctor will review, and then discuss the results with you.

Make sure that you write down all questions that come to your mind beforehand and share them with your doctor because this is the opportunity to understand what might happen next and what decisions you need to make to get desired results. Always feel free to clear your doubts with your medical team. It is their core responsibility to educate you and also respond to your concerns.

When you visit for the first time, the fertility doctor would want to determine whether there are any medical issues in your or your partner’s history that may lead to an underlying medical condition that is resulting in infertility that might need further evaluation. The next steps can involve the evaluation of the ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, and the sperm count.

Before infertility testing, a fertility specialist works to understand your overall sexual habits in order to make recommendations to increase your chances of getting pregnant. An evaluation for infertility must be done in a focused way to determine all relevant factors and should include the female as well as male partners. The least invasive methods that help detect the most common causes of infertility must be done first.

The following tests may be recommended as part of your infertility evaluation:

  • Semen analysis
  • Hormone testing
  • Testicular biopsy
  • Hysterosalpingography
  • Ovarian reserve testing
  • Hysteroscopy
  • Laparoscopy
  • Transvaginal Ultrasonography
  • Sonohysterography
  • Hysteroscopy
  • Sonohysterogram
  • Ultrasound
  • Hormone blood test
When should you visit a Fertility Specialist?

Fertility specialists are technically gynecologists or urologists who have had additional training in dealing with issues related to the reproductive organs. There are various reasons your doctor might refer you to a fertility specialist, some of which are given below:

  • Difficulty conceiving for more than six months if you are of age 35 or older, or for more than a year if you are younger.
  • Having two or more miscarriages.
  • Just beginning to try to conceive with known symptoms or risk factors of infertility, such as genetic conditions, irregular cycles, or any prior sexually transmitted diseases (even though already treated).
  • Women or men who are interested in permanent birth control options, like or vasectomy tubal ligation.
  • Men or women with a cancer diagnosis who require guidance on ways to preserve fertility before undergoing treatments, or those willing to conceive after treatments.
  • Your partner has trouble achieving an erection.
  • Absence of period, heavy bleeding, and irregular periods
  • Either you or your partner has a history of sexually transmitted diseases.
  • You may also want to see a fertility specialist if you have had cancer (like chemotherapy treatment) or if your mother experienced early menopause.
What can you expect from your first visit with a Fertility Specialist?

Much of the first appointment with a fertility specialist will focus on the review of your overall medical history and discussion about the possibility of male-factor issues. The fertility specialist may ask you to have blood tests done or go for a pelvic exam, and might also prescribe tests for the male or female partner. If these tests are already been done, the doctor will review, and then discuss the results with you.

Make sure that you write down all questions that come to your mind beforehand and share them with your doctor because this is the opportunity to understand what might happen next and what decisions you need to make to get desired results. Always feel free to clear your doubts with your medical team. It is their core responsibility to educate you and also respond to your concerns.

When you visit for the first time, the fertility doctor would want to determine whether there are any medical issues in your or your partner’s history that may lead to an underlying medical condition that is resulting in infertility that might need further evaluation. The next steps can involve the evaluation of the ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, and the sperm count.
