the first office visit

what to expect

Discover below what lies ahead and gain the insight that will empower you to make the most of this all-important first step. Embrace the beginning of your remarkable fertility journey!

we start by listening

At Marin Fertility Center, we genuinely value the power of listening. It is the cornerstone of our approach to your first visit.We believe in paying close attention to even the subtlest nuances or sensations you may be experiencing regarding your reproductive health.

Understanding that each person’s health is unique, our “no rush” policy ensures ample time to address even the most complex cases. Our patients are a gift, and we feel that the greatest gift we can give in return is to truly listen.

the power of pictures

All initial visits include an advanced pelvic ultrasound on the highest quality equipment. This exam only takes about 10 minutes. Images are obtained by using a transvaginal ultrasound creating the shortest distance between the sound waves and the body (uterus and ovaries). There is no radiation with ultrasound.
All of our practitioners have a special interest in reproductive imaging and this means a more methodical and deeper level of assessment for you. Items that can be revealed include health of the uterus (uterine septum, Mullerian anomalies), state of the ovaries including follicle counts and, if indicated, fallopian tube assessment. Our atypical approach also allows us to check for more subtle findings of very serious conditions such as endometriosis and adenomyosis.

Examples of what we can see

Computer-assisted follicle measurements provide greater consistency and leave more time to talk with you about the exam.

Ultrasound and foam provide the most comfort and quickest exam completion. Performed at MFC. ExEm was FDA Approved in 2022.

A three-dimensional view of the uterus provides information about its internal shape which can have implications for successful reproduction.

explanations that go home with you

Did you know that studies indicate patients forget 40-80% of the medical information shared during office visits, with nearly half of the retained information being incorrect? At Marin Fertility Center, we understand the importance of effective communication and strive to address this issue by offering a unique solution.
Our dedicated providers at MFC go beyond traditional methods of communication by creating personalized visual explanations just for you. Using cutting-edge technology, we offer real-time visual aids during your office visits.

These visual explanations, tailored to your specific needs and concerns, help simplify complex medical information and make it easier for you to understand.

We believe that ongoing access to information should be seamless and convenient for our patients. Once your personalized visual explanations are created, they are seamlessly pushed directly to your personal patient portal. This ensures that you have permanent access to clear and accurate information related to your fertility journey. Whether you want to review your treatment plan, understand the steps involved in a procedure, or simply refresh your memory about an aspect of your fertility journey, everything you need is just a few clicks away.

a plan in hand

Navigating your fertility journey with confidence starts with a clear roadmap. At the conclusion of every new patient appointment, we take pride in providing you with a “Next Steps” document that outlines the comprehensive plan established during your consultation. This personalized document encompasses your unique testing or treatment recommendations and the action steps to completion. We also provide you detailed information on recommendations concerning vitamins and mind-body-environment action steps. Sent securely through our portal this “Next Steps” document can be retained and referenced throughout your journey
