This list of questions is a good starting point for discussion with your doctor. However, it is not a comprehensive list.

• What diagnostic tests do you recommend? What is the likelihood that they will yield a diagnosis?
  
  
• Are there risks associated with the testing?
  
  
• What is my (or my partner's) diagnosis?  How does this condition specifically interfere with fertility?
  
  
• Might this condition change over time?  How?
  
  
• How likely is fertility treatment to be successful for me?
  
  
• What types of treatments should I consider?  What are the risks and success rates for each?
  
  
• Which treatment do you recommend for me?
  
  
• In your practice, how often does this treatment result in a live birth?  What is the national success rate?
  
  
• What does treatment cost? Does my insurance cover any of the medications, hospital charges, or doctor's visits? If I must pay out-of-pocket, do you offer any special payment plans?
  
  
• What is your training in infertility? Are you board certified as a reproductive endocrinologist?
  
  
• Can you put us in touch with former patients who have undergone similar treatments?
