A. Initial Visit 
At the time of the initial consultation, the physician elicits your history, reviews past records, performs a physical examination and formulates the treatment plan.  A major goal of the evaluation is to define as precisely as possible what is your individual likelihood of success with different therapies. If you have undergone evaluation or treatment at another program, please bring detailed records including the results of screening tests, the stimulation and laboratory summaries so that we can review them with you in detail. A form for release of medical information should be signed by you and your partner and sent to each doctor who tested or treated you for infertility in the past.

A trial embryo transfer is usually done by passing a thin catheter into the uterus (womb) in order to assess the ease of passage and direction of the cervical canal and to measure uterine depth. The trial transfer is usually painless and allows us to perform the actual embryo transfer with as little irritation as possible.
