What to expect at your first fertility consultation
A first fertility visit is a conversation, not a procedure. What happens, what to bring, and the questions worth asking.
· Last updated
The first fertility consultation is mostly listening. Your doctor will ask about your cycles, medical history, how long you have been trying, and any previous tests or treatment — for both partners, because fertility is shared.
Bring any previous reports, scans or prescriptions you have. They save time and sometimes save you from repeating tests.
From there, a stepwise plan is made: usually basic tests first, then treatment options discussed only once the picture is clear. The simplest appropriate option comes first.
Good questions to ask: What are the possible causes in our case? Which tests matter first? What are our options, in order? A good consultation ends with clarity, not pressure.
At MERIVA, fertility consultations with Dr. Sandhya run in evening hours, so both partners can attend after work.
