What to ask in the first consultation
The first consultation should provide a clear path: options for your case, necessary studies, risks, costs, and next steps. You can ask for explanations of any terms and to separate confirmed data from estimates.

The first consultation helps understand your options. You don't need to arrive with all the answers or decide that same day.
What information to bring
You can bring your relevant medical history, previous treatments, available studies, and questions you want to discuss. If you already have embryos, bring the lab report. Also, explain which country you live in and where you want the baby’s parentage recognized.
The questions that guide the conversation
- What options do you consider suitable and why?
- What studies are missing, and what decision would change with each result?
- Would we need donation, or could we use our own genetic material?
- Who will coordinate the process, and how will we receive updates?
- What does the budget include, and what might be charged separately?
- What should a lawyer review before starting?
What you can ask at the end
You can request a summary of the plan, pending tasks, and the next step. If a response mentions success, clarify whether it refers to fertilization, pregnancy, or birth. These are distinct outcomes.
