Your visit at a glance
Start by organising your questions by email. Your doctor’s assessment guides tests and treatment; existing reports are a starting point, without arranging a full set of tests yourself.
- What to prepare
- Dated test reports, previous treatment records and medication history.
- How care connects
- Assessment leads to monitoring, retrieval and culture, followed by a decision on transfer or freezing.
- Records to retain
- Individual plan, medication and monitoring schedule, laboratory reports, and transfer or storage arrangements.
- How to check costs
- Separate retrieval and culture from medication, anaesthesia, ICSI, freezing, storage and transfer.

IVF — in vitro fertilisation
Eggs and sperm are combined outside the body, and an embryo may later be transferred into the uterus. A clinician considers the cause of infertility, previous treatment and examination results.
IVF may be discussed for tubal problems, some ovulation or sperm factors, or unexplained infertility after other treatment. Ask which alternatives remain appropriate.

Risks and treatment outcomes
Discuss ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, multiple pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, cycle cancellation and the possibility of no usable eggs or transferable embryos. Compare live-birth rates using the same denominator; a positive pregnancy test is not a live birth.
