Patient presents for in vitro fertilization (IVF) consultation due to infertility. The patient and partner have been actively trying to conceive for 24 months without success. Infertility workup including semen analysis, hysterosalpingogram, and ovarian reserve testing has been completed. Results of the infertility evaluation were reviewed and discussed, indicating the need for assisted reproductive technology (ART). Diagnosis of infertility, female factor and male factor infertility are considered. The patient understands the IVF procedure, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. Risks, benefits, and alternative treatments such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) were discussed. The patient and partner have elected to proceed with IVF treatment. A treatment plan including a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocol with gonadotropin injections, transvaginal ultrasound monitoring, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger, and subsequent oocyte retrieval was outlined. Pre-cycle laboratory testing, including infectious disease screening, will be ordered. Medical billing codes for IVF treatment, infertility evaluation, and assisted reproductive technologies will be applied. Patient education regarding medication administration, potential side effects, and monitoring schedule was provided. Follow-up appointment scheduled for cycle start.
