Your first fertility appointment can be filled with many emotions, questions and concerns. At Viera Fertility, we are here to help you feel comfortable and confident in taking the next steps in building your family. Explore our guide below to learn more about what to expect at your first fertility appointment.
As you arrive at our clinic, you will check in for your appointment at our front desk and lounge in our waiting area until it is time to see your specialist. If you did not complete your New Patient Forms prior to arrival, you will have time to complete these while you wait. This helps ensure that our team has the most up-to-date information about your medical history and fertility journey.
Your first appointment will begin with a one-on-one consultation with an experienced fertility specialist. This is an opportunity for you to share your medical history, reproductive health concerns, and fertility goals. Feel free to ask any questions or express any anxieties you may have – we’re here to listen and provide guidance.
Your specialist will conduct a thorough evaluation, which may include reviewing your medical records, discussing any previous pregnancies or miscarriages, and assessing lifestyle factors that can impact fertility. We may also recommend initial fertility assessments such as blood tests, semen analysis, and ultrasound scans to gather essential information about your fertility health.
Based on the evaluation and test results, your specialist will discuss personalized treatment options tailored to your specific needs and goals. Whether it’s lifestyle modifications, fertility medications, assisted reproductive technologies like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF), or fertility preservation options, we’ll work together to develop a plan that aligns with your preferences and priorities.
We’ll provide transparent information about the costs associated with fertility testing and treatments, as well as details about insurance coverage options and financial assistance programs that may be available to you. Our financial counselors are here to help you make decisions about your treatment plan and choose the financing options that are best for you.
Before you leave, we’ll outline the next steps in your fertility journey and schedule any follow-up appointments or additional testing as needed. Our goal is to ensure that you feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way.
