Fertility Consultations
Starting your fertility journey? We provide evaluations, guidance, and support to help you take the next step.
Initial Fertility Evaluation
If you've been trying to conceive without success, or if you're planning ahead and want to understand your fertility health, our providers offer comprehensive initial fertility evaluations.
A fertility consultation typically includes:
- Detailed medical and reproductive history review
- Hormone level testing (FSH, LH, estradiol, AMH, thyroid)
- Pelvic ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve and uterine health
- Discussion of ovulation tracking and timing
- Lifestyle and nutrition factors that affect fertility
- Review of any prior fertility treatments
When to Seek a Fertility Consultation
We recommend a fertility evaluation if:
- You're under 35 and have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success
- You're 35 or older and have been trying for 6 months
- You have irregular or absent menstrual periods
- You have a known condition that may affect fertility (endometriosis, PCOS, etc.)
- You want to proactively assess your fertility before trying to conceive
Next Steps and Referrals
Based on your evaluation results, we'll create a personalized plan that may include lifestyle modifications, medication to support ovulation, or referral to a reproductive endocrinologist for advanced fertility treatments such as IUI or IVF.
We work closely with top fertility specialists in the Dearborn area to ensure a seamless transition if advanced care is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover fertility testing?
Many insurance plans cover initial fertility testing and evaluation. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage. Our office can provide the necessary diagnostic codes for pre-authorization.
Should my partner be evaluated too?
Yes, male factor infertility accounts for about 40-50% of fertility challenges. We can recommend a urologist for your partner's evaluation, or coordinate with a fertility specialist who evaluates both partners.
What can I do now to improve my fertility?
Maintaining a healthy weight, taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid, limiting alcohol and caffeine, managing stress, and tracking your ovulation cycles can all support fertility. We'll discuss personalized recommendations during your consultation.
