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.

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.
