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?
