During our initial consultation, we take the time to understand your personal situation. We explain the medical background in an easy-to-understand way and work together to develop a clear, personalized treatment plan for your next steps toward fertility treatment or optimizing your natural fertility.
About one in seven couples is affected by infertility. Yet only one-third of those affected seek reproductive medical assistance. Many hesitate due to uncertainty, shame, or anxiety about taking that first step—yet an initial consultation with a doctor often provides immediate relief.
The sooner potential causes are identified, the more effectively we can support you.

During an initial consultation, we will discuss your personal and medical history together and explain any existing medical history. If no examinations have been performed yet, we will begin with a structured diagnostic evaluation— Since the cause of infertility usually involves both partners, we recommend that you undergo evaluation as a couple:
Ultrasound diagnostics
Cycle monitoring
Hormone analysis
Semen analysis for the partner
Further andrological diagnostics
Fallopian tube patency testing (HSSG)
Further diagnostic tests, such as immunological testing, coagulation testing
As soon as the results are complete, we will discuss them in detail with you during a follow-up appointment. Possible treatment options will be explained to you. We will always discuss cost coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses with you in advance.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
If pregnancy has not occurred after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse. For women over 35, after just 6 months. If there are known pre-existing conditions, evaluation begins immediately. If a woman over 35 wishes to conceive, a consultation is advisable due to her age.
For couples, we recommend a joint consultation, as the inability to conceive and fertility testing affect both partners. In 40% of cases, the cause of infertility lies with the male partner, and in 40% of cases, with the female partner. Therefore, please both bring your insurance cards.
For patients with public health insurance, a referral from a gynecologist or primary care physician is required. If you do not have one, we can still schedule the appointment - the referral can be submitted at a later date.
