DetailsYou usually cannot know before the workup, and you should be suspicious of anyone who tells you at the first phone call. The investigation — ovulation, tubes, uterus, ovarian reserve and a semen analysis — takes about one menstrual cycle and determines everything that follows.
No. A large proportion of couples seen here are treated with ovulation induction, tubal or uterine surgery, or timed IUI, all of which cost a fraction of IVF. IVF is recommended when the reports show it is the option that will actually work.
Yes, and it is a significant part of the practice. Bring every report and cycle record you have. If the plan you were given is sound, you will be told that too.
A first consultation establishes the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended. Bring whatever reports you already have.
