When getting ready for your first visit, bringing the right information and documents can help ensure your appointment goes smoothly and that our fertility specialists have everything they need to provide you with the best possible care. What to Bring:

● Insurance Information: If you plan to use health insurance, bring your insurance card or any relevant documentation so our team can accurately verify your coverage and discuss any fertility benefits.

● Medication List: Prepare a detailed list of all medications you and your partner (if applicable) are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements. Be sure to note dosages and frequency.

● Relevant Medical Records: If you have seen other fertility specialists, OB/GYNs, or have had prior testing or treatments (such as hormone panels, semen analysis, ultrasounds, or previous IVF cycles), please bring copies of these records. This information helps us better understand your fertility journey so far.

● Medical History: Bring a written summary of both your personal and family medical history, including any known genetic conditions, menstrual and reproductive history, prior pregnancies or miscarriages, surgeries, or hospitalizations.

● Allergies: Note any known allergies, especially to medications or anesthesia.

Having these documents and details ready will help our team gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique situation and tailor a plan that gives you the best chance of achieving your family-building goals. We look forward to partnering with you on this important journey.

Deciding whether to bring your partner to your first consultation is a personal choice, but there are several important factors to consider that may help you make the best decision for your journey.

Fertility care often involves both partners, so having your partner present can provide much-needed emotional support, especially if you’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed. Your partner can help you remember important questions to ask and assist in recalling the information shared by our fertility specialists. Additionally, your partner may be able to offer insights into your shared medical or family history that could be helpful during the assessment.

Since fertility challenges often affect both members of a couple, attending the appointment together can improve communication, foster a sense of teamwork, and ensure that both of you fully understand your options and next steps. Joint participation can also facilitate decision-making when it comes to treatment plans and future family-building choices.

However, we understand that some patients may feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or personal health concerns privately. It’s important to reflect on your own comfort level and preferences. If you’re unsure, you’re always welcome to reach out to our office before your appointment to discuss what might work best for you. Our team is committed to supporting you, whether you attend alone or with your partner, and we can offer guidance based on the nature of your visit and your individual needs.

When preparing for your visit, it’s important to come with a list of key questions to ensure you make the most of your appointment and fully understand your reproductive health and treatment options. Here are some suggestions to help you get started:

● Understanding Your Fertility Diagnosis: Ask your provider to explain your fertility diagnosis—what it means, how it was determined, and if additional tests are recommended. Understanding the underlying cause of your fertility challenges is essential for making informed decisions about your care.

● Exploring Treatment Options: Inquire about all available fertility treatment options, such as ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), or third-party reproduction (egg or sperm donation, surrogacy). Ask about the benefits, risks, success rates, potential side effects, and what each process involves.

● Impact on Daily Life and Future Planning: Ask how your diagnosis and recommended treatments may affect your daily life, work, or future family planning. Discuss the timeline for treatments, potential lifestyle changes, and what to expect at each stage.

● Medications and Hormone Therapies: If medications or hormone therapies are prescribed, be sure to ask about their purpose, possible side effects, interactions with other medications, and what to do if you miss a dose or experience any unexpected symptoms.

● Lifestyle and Wellness Guidance: Ask your provider if there are specific lifestyle changes—such as adjustments to diet, exercise, stress management, or sleep habits—that could improve your fertility or support your treatment plan.

By addressing these areas during your appointment at Conceptions Fertility Center, you’ll feel more confident and informed about your fertility journey and the path toward building your family.

We understand that taking the first step toward fertility care is a big decision. Our team is dedicated to making your initial consultation a thorough, supportive, and personalized experience.

Your journey begins with an in-depth conversation with one of our experienced fertility specialists. We’ll discuss your medical, sexual, and reproductive history in detail. We want to know how long you’ve been trying to conceive, information about your menstrual cycles, any previous pregnancies or miscarriages, and any health conditions or surgeries that may be relevant.

We’ll also talk about lifestyle factors that can impact fertility, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise habits, and exposure to environmental toxins. If you have a partner, we will review their medical and reproductive history as well, including general health, any previous children, and any important health issues.

During your visit, both partners may be asked about current medications, family history of genetic or reproductive concerns, and any previous fertility tests or treatments. This helps us build a complete picture of your unique situation. For more information, contact us. We serve patients from Provo UT, Orem UT, Mapleton UT, Vineyard UT, Highland UT, North Logan UT, Hyde Park UT, Smithfield UT, Benson UT, Logan UT, and surrounding areas.
