Previous Episode: #1: This Is Us

Going to your first fertility clinic consultation can feel overwhelming and intimidating: "Are we infertile? Are they going to try to sell us IVF like some kind of car salesman?" It's high stakes and high pressure...and for good reason. Usually you've already been waiting a long time for answers and this appointment can feel like your first chance to get more information, clarity and a plan.

In this episode, we’re chatting with Margaret Sundheim, an IVF Nurse Practitioner at CCRM in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She's sharing what types of questions you should ask, what you can expect in that first meeting and how you might feel when you leave the office. We'll also talk about how you know it's time to leave your OBGYN for a fertility clinic, how to choose your clinic and doctor and how to know it's a good fit.
