Asking Questions about Infertility

Now that the doctor’s appointment is scheduled the next step is to write done any questions that you may have. I highly recommend this because once you get in there with the doctor if you don’t have your questions written, you will leave not having them all answered.

One of the main questions that should be asked is, “What is the next step?” Other questions that might be pertinent are:

What tests should be done?

What are my options?

What do you do as a doctor?

(If meeting with an OB/GYN) At what point do I need to see a specialist?

What tests and medication do you recommend?

What do treatments cost?

If they recommend a test, ask them to describe the test and what is going to happen.

What health changes can I make to help my chances of conceiving?

As a couple take the time and figure out what questions are important for you. What might not be important to the wife may be very important for the husband and vice versa. Be prepared and get your questions answered!
