You deserve to know what’s happening with your body. Asking questions helps you understand your condition, test results, and treatment options in a way that makes sense to you.

Here are some helpful questions to ask your doctor if you're dealing with infertility:

What could be causing my infertility?
What tests will I need to find out more?
How is my overall health affecting my ability to have children??
What treatments are available for my specific condition?
Are there medications, lifestyle changes, or surgeries that can help?
How effective are these treatments?
Do I need help getting my partner pregnant using treatments like IUI or IVF?
Can sperm be collected from me, and if yes, what method would be used?
Should I consider sperm freezing?
Can stress, weight, smoking, or alcohol affect my ability to have children?
What can I do to improve my sperm quality naturally?
Will my condition get worse over time?
What are my chances of becoming a parent?
Should we also test my partner?
If treatment doesn’t work, what are our options - like donor sperm or adoption?

Bring a notebook or use your phone to take notes during the visit. It can also help to bring your partner for support and to talk through any decisions together.
