Your First Visit

Getting Ready for Your First Visit

Your first appointment is key to understanding your fertility health. To help us provide personalized care, please complete your medical history through our easy-to-use Patient Portal prior to your visit. Using the Patient Portal ensures timely and convenient communication throughout your treatment.

Please submit these items before your appointment:

• Previous fertility medical records, lab results, and gynecological surgery reports.
• Your most recent Pap smear results.
• HSG films, ultrasound reports, and your partner’s semen analysis results, if applicable.

Accurate details about your health history are essential, so feel welcome to communicate openly with us. This is the best way to ensure the most optimal results.

In your welcome email during time of scheduling you received a login and password for accessing the portal, if you did not receive your login, please call us and we would be happy to assist you.

What to Expect During Your Initial Consultation

Our Dallas Fort Worth fertility center encourages both partners, if you have one, to attend this first visit, arriving about 15 minutes early with your completed paperwork, driver’s license, and insurance cards. A specialist reviews your health history, checks your vitals, and gets to know you and your situation.

Depending on your medical history, age, and family planning goals, our specialist may recommend several tests to evaluate your reproductive health, such as:

• Hormonal Assessment
• Imaging Studies of the Reproductive System
• Semen Analysis

After these initial evaluations, you’ll meet a dedicated coordinator who will help plan testing, explain recommendations, and serve as your primary contact throughout your care. Expect personalized, thoughtful care that values your unique story and goals.

Fertility Treatment Financing

Understanding the finances of fertility treatment is essential. After your consultation, our financial counselor reviews expenses, explains insurance benefits, and outlines available financing plans. This session ensures you receive clear, detailed information about your treatment investments and any applicable discount options.

Questions to Expect from Your Fertility Specialist

During your visit, expect a conversation that covers topics such as:

• The length of time you have been trying for a family.
• Lifestyle habits and prior treatments.
• Details about menstrual cycles, overall health, and previous fertility evaluations.

Your responses assist our specialists in mapping out the most appropriate next steps.

Questions to Ask Your Fertility Specialist

Engaging with your specialist can further clarify your treatment options. Consider asking:

• What side effects might be associated with these treatments?
• How many treatment cycles could be necessary?
• What ongoing support is available throughout the process?
• How long does a typical fertility treatment cycle take?

These questions empower you to make informed decisions and feel confident in your care.
