Abstract
The aim of the first consultation related to infertility is supposed to be the optimization of all factors that can increase the chances of pregnancy: more frequent sexual intercourse during the fertility windows; lifestyle modifications (better diet, decreased exposure to tobacco or other toxics); older couples can enjoy the same advice but should be proposed a quicker medical support. Maternal preconceptional advice must be transmitted. A testicular cancer must always be excluded in infertile men, while the risk of hormone-dependent cancers in infertile women remains undetermined. With the results of this first consultation, couples will generally be proposed the best solution to achieve their parental project: ovarian stimulation assisted reproductive technology (IUI, IVF or ICSI) or adoption.
