There are some women who have very shortened luteal phases, which is the time from ovulation to the next cycle. If your time from ovulation to your next cycle is 8-10 days, share that information with your physician because that indicates there may be potentially a progesterone problem.

You'll also want to look at how long they've been in practice. Ask if they offer full scope, which includes all sorts of different treatments like insemination, as well as potentially egg donation. Make sure they offer full-spectrum services to everyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. And then ask about their embryology lab and success rates (meaning what percentage of IVF patients actually take home a baby).
