It can take years before people make their first appointment at a fertility clinic. Whether that's because they don't know how long they "should" try before they seek medical help, or because they're embarrassed, or because they're afraid of what they might learn, waiting rarely makes things better.

In this episode, Ruby, Anne and guest Dr. Nichole Barker demystify that first visit: when it's time to make the appointment, what will likely happen at the clinic, how you can prepare beforehand, and more.
