The first appointment with the fertility expert is the first step in your journey towards parenthood. It is very important because you will get all the medical information you need about the proposed own treatment and also you will get to know the team that will support you all the way.

We suggest 5 questions to ask the fertility expert and their team. This way you will make the most of your appointment and you will feel that you did your best!

1-What is the exact diagnosis for me?

Ask for an accurate, but simple and understandable description of your diagnosis. If something is not clear, ask for details.

2-Doctor, what is your recommendation for us?

Talk to your doctor: how is the treatment plan adjusted to your particular circumstances and needs? Will it be tailored to you?

3-What are the success rates of my own treatment?

Ask about the success rates of the treatments, but focus on the expected personal success rate that your doctor estimates for you.

4-In which way can the embryology lab support my treatment?

Technology can make a huge difference in the success of IVF treatment when embryologists are experienced and trained. Equipment such as the Embryoscope + incubator system with time-lapse technology and AI such as Idascore are here to help increase the success rate of IVF.

5-How much will my treatment cost?

Ask for the cost of your own treatment in advance. If there is a possibility of add-ons and additional cost, ask about it from the very first appointment. This will prepare you better and you will feel that you have an honest financial relationship with the assisted reproduction unit.
