What to Ask Your Chicago IVF Specialist

‍Question 1: Please explain my infertility diagnosis in lay terms.

• What is my infertility diagnosis?
• If my infertility diagnosis is uncertain, what test(s) do you recommend?
• What are my risks for undergoing additional testing?
• Does my partner need additional fertility testing?
• How does my condition specifically interfere with my fertility?
• Will my condition worsen over time?

Questions 2: What treatment would you recommend that is the most cost-effective and cost-efficient IVF procedure for my particular circumstances?

• Does the IVF treatment involve medication?
• If so, what are your dosage recommendations?
• How many eggs can I estimate will be retrieved for fertilization in vitro?
• How many embryos are likely to be of high quality for transfer?

Question 3: In your expert opinion, what are my chances of giving birth to a healthy baby through IVF?

• What are your success rates for pregnancy vs. live birth rates given my diagnosis and circumstances?

Remember, no IVF specialist can legitimately give you an exact answer/promise about your chances of success. Expect an estimation only based upon his professional experience with other patients similar to your situation. If you receive a 100 percent guarantee for a healthy, successful birth, you definitely want to move on to another IVF specialist. A reputable IVF specialist will give you his expert opinion based upon:

• Your age and medical history
• Your partner’s age and medical history

Your IVF Specialist’s expertise and practical experience will allow him to roughly estimate your chances of a successful, healthy pregnancy and live birth of a baby.
