Hey there! Welcome to your fertility journey, where you’re not alone—we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Everyone’s path is different, and we understand that when you first visit us, you may be at various stages in your personal journey. Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect as you move forward with our amazing team.
1. First Visit
So, you’ve made the leap to come see us! Our team is ready to support you and help you feel comfortable.
2. Getting Your Checklist Done
You’ll complete a basic fertility evaluation which might include a semen analysis, HSG or saline sonogram, preconception testing, ovarian reserve tests like AMH and AFC, and genetic carrier screening. Plus, we’ll have a financial consultation to discuss your options.
3. Crafting Your Treatment Plan
After your initial assessments, your primary doc will create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique history and test results. Common treatments include intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Speaking of IUI, if you’re interested in learning more, check out this excellent resource from Healthline.
4. Kicking Off Treatment
It’s time to get things rolling! You’ll work with our team to set up a treatment schedule, order medications, and manage all your appointments, making decisions along the way about any further treatments.
5. Early Pregnancy Check-In
If all goes well, you’ll have an ultrasound and blood test to confirm your pregnancy. Once you hit about 8-9 weeks, you’ll graduate to your OB, who will take care of you until you welcome your little one into the world.
