How to prepare for the first consultation with a reproductive specialist at IVMED
The first visit to a fertility specialist is not scary or painful. This is a conversation with a doctor, examination and drawing up a plan of further actions. To make the consultation as effective as possible, prepare in advance.
What to take with you
Bring all available medical documents: results of previous tests and ultrasounds (especially if done within the last 6-12 months), hospital discharges, gynecologist or urologist's reports, and the results of your husband's spermogram, if it has already been performed. If you have already undergone infertility treatment or ovulation stimulation, be sure to bring the protocols and discharge papers.
The best day for the first visit
It is better to plan the initial consultation with a reproductive specialist on days 2-5 of the menstrual cycle - at this time, ultrasound is most informative for assessing the ovarian reserve (counting antral follicles) and it is convenient to take basic hormones (FSH, LH, estradiol, AMH). If your complaints are acute, come any day, don't wait.
What to write down before the appointment
Prepare answers to the questions that the doctor will definitely ask: the duration and regularity of your menstrual cycle, the date of your last period, how many months or years you have been trying to get pregnant, whether you have had previous pregnancies and how they ended, what contraceptive methods you have used, whether you have any chronic diseases or surgeries. Write down your questions to the doctor - it's easy to forget the most important things during an appointment.
Do I need to come with a partner?
It is advisable to come to the first consultation together. Infertility is always a couple's issue, and the fertility specialist evaluates both partners. At the first appointment, a man may be prescribed a spermogram or referred to an andrologist. If your partner is unable to come, bring his medical documents and spermogram results, if you already have one.
Physical training
No special preparation for the consultation is required. If pelvic ultrasonography is planned, avoid sexual intercourse for 1-2 days and do not use vaginal suppositories or gels. For transabdominal ultrasound (through the abdomen) - come with a full bladder (drink 0.5-1 liter of still water 30-40 minutes before the appointment).
Methods of diagnosing infertility
To determine the causes of infertility, the reproductive specialist uses a comprehensive approach to the examination, which includes:
Detailed history taking
Ultrasound examination of pelvic organs
Hormone tests
Assessment of the patency of the fallopian tubes
Sperm quality research
Genetic testing
Assessment of ovarian function
Other laboratory tests (as indicated)
Thanks to modern diagnostic methods, a reproductive specialist can identify even hidden causes of infertility and develop an effective treatment plan.
Consultation of a reproductive specialist in IVMED in Zhytomyr
An appointment with a reproductive specialist at the IVMED reproduction center in Zhytomyr is a detailed examination of reproductive health and the development of an individual infertility treatment plan.
The reproductive specialist examines the patient’s medical records in detail: previous gynecological diseases, menstrual cycle characteristics, information about previous pregnancies and childbirths, contraceptive methods used, and sexual history. The results of previous fertility examinations and conservative or surgical treatment, if any, are also analyzed.
During the consultation, the reproductive specialist finds out the presence of symptoms that can affect reproductive function: menstrual irregularity, ovulation problems, pelvic pain, signs of endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and other gynecological pathologies.
A reproductive specialist conducts a comprehensive assessment of the factors that affect the ability to conceive: ovarian reserve (egg reserve), ovulatory function, fallopian tube patency, endometrial and uterine condition, and the male factor of infertility. Based on the data obtained, the reproductive potential of the couple is determined.
Depending on the anamnesis and the results of the initial examination, the doctor may recommend additional examinations to accurately diagnose the causes of infertility or reproductive disorders. These may include hormonal tests, ultrasound, hysterosalpingography, a spermogram for a man, and other tests.
The fertility specialist at IVMED discusses with the patient all possible treatment options, which are selected taking into account the individual characteristics and reproductive goals of the couple. The plan may include lifestyle correction, medical stimulation of ovulation, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), ICSI, surgical treatment, or other modern reproductive technologies.
The doctor draws up a plan for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment, determines the timing of follow-up visits and examinations. Throughout the entire process of infertility treatment, the patient receives professional support and, if necessary, therapy adjustments to achieve the best results.

Conservative methods of treatment
Lifestyle modification
implementing a balanced diet, regular physical activity, avoiding alcohol and tobacco, optimizing sleep patterns, and developing strategies to reduce stress.
Hormone therapy
is used to normalize the ovulatory cycle, treat polycystic ovary syndrome, and correct endocrine imbalances that interfere with the normal functioning of the reproductive system.
Antimicrobial therapy
Targeted use of antibacterial, antiviral or antifungal drugs in the detection of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs.
Induction of ovulation
prescribing specialized medications to stimulate follicle development and increase the likelihood of natural conception in case of ovulatory dysfunction.
Surgical treatment
Surgical treatment is prescribed in cases where reproductive problems are caused by structural or anatomical changes in the organs of the reproductive system.
Laparoscopic surgeries are minimally invasive surgical procedures that allow for an objective assessment of the pelvic organs and the necessary surgical correction.
Hysteroscopic interventions are minimally traumatic procedures for the removal of endometrial polyps, intrauterine synechiae, submucosal fibroids and other pathological formations of the uterine cavity.
Correction of varicocele is a surgical removal of varicose veins of the spermatic cord in men to improve spermogram parameters and reproductive function.
TESE is a testicular puncture or biopsy to obtain spermatozoa in case of azoospermia.
Assisted reproductive technologies
When conservative and surgical treatment does not provide the desired result or if there are absolute indications, the reproductive specialist suggests the use of modern assisted reproductive technologies:
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) - is the controlled injection of specially prepared concentrated sperm directly into the uterine cavity during ovulation to increase the likelihood of fertilization.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) - is a complex multi-stage process that includes stimulation of superovulation, egg retrieval, fertilization with sperm in the laboratory, and transfer of high-quality embryos into the uterine cavity.
Programs using donor material - The use of donor eggs, sperm or embryos in cases where patients' own germ cells cannot ensure successful fertilization or development of a healthy embryo.

FAQ
When should I visit a reproductive specialist instead of a gynecologist?
A gynecologist is consulted for current diseases of the reproductive system – inflammation, cervical pathologies, and menstrual disorders. A reproductive specialist is consulted when a couple is deliberately trying to get pregnant but cannot. The standard guideline is that if regular sexual intercourse without contraception for 12 months has not resulted in pregnancy, this is a reason to consult a reproductive specialist. For women over 35, this period is reduced to 6 months. It is also worth contacting earlier if one of the partners already has known problems – endometriosis, PCOS, varicocele, abnormalities in the spermogram.
How many IVF attempts may be required to get pregnant?
According to statistics, most pregnancies after IVF occur within the first three attempts. The first attempt results in pregnancy in about 35-45% of women under 35 years of age, and this figure decreases with age. That is why doctors recommend not stopping after the first failure: each attempt gives the doctor additional information about the body’s response to stimulation, the quality of the embryos, and the conditions of implantation. The number of attempts is determined individually by the reproductive specialist, taking into account age, ovarian reserve (AMH level), the results of previous protocols and the condition of the endometrium.
Does a man need to be examined before the first consultation?
Yes, and it is important to do this before the first joint visit, not after. The male factor is the cause of infertility in 40-50% of couples, so a spermogram is a mandatory first step in diagnosis. Before donating sperm, it is recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse for 3-5 days, avoid alcohol and overheating (bath, sauna) a week before the test. If the spermogram indicators deviate from the norm, the reproductive specialist will prescribe additional tests: sperm DNA fragmentation, FISH diagnostics, or consultation with an andrologist.
Is it possible to undergo IVF free of charge under the state program at the IVMED clinic?
Thus, IVMED clinic participates in the program of the National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU), which provides free IVF for couples with a confirmed diagnosis of infertility. To get a referral, you need confirmation of the diagnosis in accordance with ICD-10 codes, a conclusion from a reproductive specialist and an electronic referral through the eHealth system. Our specialists will help you go through all the necessary steps to obtain state funding. For detailed program terms and conditions, please contact the clinic at the consultation or by phone.
Does a woman's age affect the success of IVF and is there an age limit?
A woman’s age is one of the key factors in the success of IVF, as the ovarian reserve and egg quality decrease over the years. Up to 35 years of age, the success rate is the highest – about 40-45% per attempt. Between 35 and 40 years of age, the effectiveness gradually decreases, but remains quite high with a preserved ovarian reserve. After 40 years of age, it is recommended to assess the level of AMH and the number of antral follicles – with good results, IVF remains an effective method. In cases of reduced ovarian reserve or lack of own eggs, the reproductive specialist may suggest a program with donor oocytes.
