10 Questions to Ask Your Long Island Fertility Doctor
When you go to your fertility consultation in Jericho, NY, bring your (and your partner’s) medical records, including any test results, imaging and past fertility treatments. Take along any records of your period frequency, duration, etc., and the following list of questions:
- Based on my supplied medical records, is the current infertility diagnosis (if any) correct–or do I/we need further diagnostic testing?
- How specifically does my/my partner’s infertility diagnosis hamper my fertility?
- Will my condition get worse as I age? Could it get better or stay the same?
- What is the success rate for you recommended treatment option(s)? (Find out if your fertility doctor is referring to birth rate or pregnancy rate–so you can compare treatments accurately. Compare your treatment options based upon success rate, potential side effects, risk profile and other factors important to you.)
- How many fertility treatment cycles are wise, before moving on to other options?
- Should we begin high tech (IVF, etc.) or low tech (lifestyle changes)?
- What natural lifestyle habit changes could I/we make to improve fertility?
- What is my chance for a successful pregnancy with this treatment and overall? Your doctor can’t make guarantees, but can use his past experience to gauge the possible success rate (average, above average, etc.) based on your personal details.
- Could I experience twins or multiple embryos?
- What is the total cost of my fertility treatment option(s)? What separate bills can I expect to receive? Do you accept insurance?
