What is the timeline for testing and treatment?
We can get most patients in for an initial evaluation within a few weeks of their first call to our office. If you have had testing done elsewhere, the more information you can bring to your first visit the better in terms of moving the process along. Each case is different but, in general, the initial infertility workup can be completed within two months. Once we know what we’re dealing with, we discuss treatment options. The goal is an uneventful pregnancy resulting in the delivery of a healthy baby. This can take from a few months to years, depending on the situation. Of course, not every treatment plan results in pregnancy. The couple and the doctor monitor the progress throughout treatment and make decisions along the way about how long attempts at pregnancy should continue.
