Question to ask your fertility doctor

Glow

Your first appointment can get overwhelming very fast. Bring along your notebook and pen - and be sure to ask these questions: 

1. Should I start off with IUI or IVF?

2. If IUI, what are my chances of success?

3. How many IUI cycles would you recommend I do, before we move on to IVF?

4. What are my personal chances of success with IVF?

5. Do you recommend I do PGS (genetic testing) on the embryos? Why or why not?

6.  How many days will I be at the clinic during my IUI or IVF cycle?

7. Are there things that my partner and I can do to improve our chances?

8. Are there certain supplements we should be taking? (CoQ10, DHEA, Vitamin D, Vitamin B-12)

9. Is there anything he can do to improve his sperm quality/quantity?

10. Should we not be having sexual intercourse while in treatment?

11. Should we be staying away from Saunas, Hot tubs, and so on?

12. Are there any physical activity that we should not be participating in?

13.  What differentiates your clinic from other clinics?

and finally....

14. Are there any questions I am not thinking of asking that I should?

Im 49 too but ivf is not an option for us. I was placed on hrt to regulate my hormones for 4 months. Praying this works as blood test revealed my estrogen is low.

You can always start with your OB and be prescribed meds to help you otherwise you can start consulting with a Reproductive Endocrinologist to help aid your fertility journey. They will run tests to determine secondary infertility or if your egg reserve is low. Best of luck! 💕

Avoid too much coffee and alcoholic drinks for the mean time until it’s the right time to test pregnancy test.

This could be implantation bleeding but I would wait a little longer and test at home if you miss your period.

Im 35, diagnosed with pre ovarian failure and hyperthyriod at the age of 25 due to over dieting during teens. Got married recently, is it possible to get pregnant naturally? My gynae said you never know when you release a egg but my endocrinologist said it is impossible to get pregnant naturally. I can consider egg donor 🤔.. Anyone has POF but managed to get pregnant naturally?
