Look for qualifications, experience, success rates, available treatments and patient reviews. It’s also important to choose a specialist you feel comfortable communicating with.

If you’ve been trying to conceive for over a year (or 6 months if over 35), or have known medical conditions affecting fertility, it’s advisable to consult a specialist.

Your first visit typically includes a detailed medical history review, basic tests, and a discussion about possible treatment options.

Costs vary depending on the treatment type (IUI, IVF, etc.), complexity, and individual medical needs.
