At the first visit, the male partner will consult a male physician and the female partner will consult a gynecologist. In the absence of clear indications, both parties can first undergo a preliminary examination to assess the fertility of both parties. After determining the need for IUI or IVF, both partners need to undergo further preoperative examinations (mainly semen and blood tests for the male partner, and secretion tests, blood tests and ECG chest X-ray for the female partner) as soon as possible, and both partners should prepare their ID cards, marriage certificates and family planning service certificates. After the preoperative examination of both parties is complete, the gynecologist will make a specific plan for the female party and let both parties bring their documents and medical records to build a file, and then follow the plan made by the gynecologist for regular follow-up and medication, while the male party can follow the arrangement of the male doctor. IUI usually takes one cycle a month, and IVF usually takes 1.5 to 2 months for one cycle (cycle time varies with different protocols).
