Your First Visit to an Infertility Clinic – What to Expect and How to Prepare

Why Visit a Fertility Clinic?

You may consider seeing a fertility specialist if:

You’ve been trying to conceive for 6–12 months without success
You’re over the age of 30 or 35
You’ve had irregular periods or no periods
You or your partner has a known fertility issue
You’ve had multiple miscarriages
You are planning IVF, IUI, or fertility preservation

Whatever your reason, your first visit is about learning, understanding, and planning — not rushing into treatment.

What to Bring for Your First Appointment

To help your doctor understand your situation, bring:

Any previous medical or fertility test reports
List of current medications or supplements
Menstrual cycle history (dates, symptoms)
Lifestyle habits (sleep, diet, stress, exercise)
Your partner’s medical history (if applicable)
Questions or concerns you want to discuss

Bringing these in writing or digital format can help avoid confusion and make your appointment more productive.

What Happens During the First Visit?

At Nex IVF Patna, your first consultation is detailed and personalized. Here’s what usually happens:

1. Medical History Discussion

We’ll talk about your and your partner’s health, medical conditions, lifestyle, and previous pregnancy attempts.

2. Basic Fertility Evaluation

You may be advised to undergo simple tests like:

Blood tests for hormones (e.g., AMH, TSH, LH, FSH)
Pelvic ultrasound
Semen analysis (for male partner)

These help us understand your fertility status and guide next steps.

3. Counselling and Education

We explain possible causes of infertility, treatment options, and what your journey may look like.

4. Planning Next Steps

Depending on your situation, you may be recommended simple lifestyle changes, further testing, or treatment options like IUI, IVF, or egg/sperm freezing.

Don’t stress if you don’t have all the answers — we’re here to help
Include your partner if possible, as fertility is a shared journey
