The initial consultation is the first step in evaluating fertility and planning a personalized path to parenthood. During this in-person visit, a fertility specialist takes the time to listen, answer questions, and understand each patient or couple’s medical history, concerns, and reproductive goals. This consultation includes essential diagnostic tests that provide an early overview of fertility health. For women, this involves an anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) blood test to assess ovarian reserve and a transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate ovarian and uterine anatomy. For men, a semen analysis (spermatogram) is performed to assess key sperm parameters such as concentration, motility, and morphology. Once results are available, the specialist explains their significance in clear, understandable terms and discusses possible next steps. Based on this initial evaluation, patients receive guidance on fertility planning, further diagnostic testing if needed, or appropriate treatment options tailored to their individual situation.
