Before the Appointment

The four pages, filled in

This is a fictional visit so you can see the format. Names, dates, and numbers are invented. Your brief uses your words and the ranges printed on your report. The clinician still decides.

Before the Appointment

Your details

Name on the chart. Jordan Hale (sample)

Age. 34

Visit. Reproductive endocrinology · Tuesday 10:20

Why I am going, in my words. We have been trying for fourteen months. Cycles are 26–32 days. I want to walk in with the labs I already have and the questions I keep losing on my phone.

Who is in the room with me. Partner coming.

One visit. Your words. Not a diagnosis from this page.

02 — Timeline and what you notice

Trying since. July 2025 (sample)

What I notice. Spotting two days before a period some months. Sleep is thin the week before. No pain that stops a day. Partner: semen analysis not done yet.

Medicines and supplements I actually take. Prenatal most days. Vitamin D 2000 IU. No prescription hormones.

History I want in the folder. One miscarriage at 7 weeks, 2024. Thyroid never diagnosed. I do not want this rewritten as “just relax.”

No interpretations written over you.

03 — Numbers next to the printed range

Copied from a sample report. Your brief copies the range on your printout — we do not invent a “normal.”

Marker	On the report	Printed range
AMH	1.8 ng/mL	0.7–3.5
TSH	2.4 mIU/L	0.4–4.0
Vitamin D, 25-OH	22 ng/mL	30–100
Hemoglobin	12.8 g/dL	11.6–15.2

These numbers are not a verdict. They are so the question is in the room: “This vitamin D is below the range on this paper — do we treat that before the next step?”

The range is the one on your report. Not ours.

04 — What I came to ask · what they said

Questions that disappear when the coat goes on

Given fourteen months and this AMH, what is the next honest step — more time, IUI, or something else?
Should my partner’s semen analysis happen before we spend another three months?
This vitamin D is under the printed range. Do you treat it?
What should I stop asking the internet this week?

Space for what they actually said

Left blank on purpose. You fill this in the room, or in the car before the story rearranges itself.

Print it. Keep it on your phone. Walk in with one place to look.

That is the shape. Yours will be your sentences and your printout.
