# The Fertility File

> A doctor-written guide and 7-worksheet kit for couples trying to conceive in Nigeria.

**Author**: Dr. Hammed Sangodipe, MBBS (MDCN Licensed)
**Audience**: Nigerian couples navigating fertility testing, clinic visits, and treatments.
**Core Proposition**: Stop guessing and guessing your way through appointments. Build a complete file, make it a couple's evaluation (not just the woman's), do the cheapest reasonable tests first (like a semen analysis before an HSG), and reassess on a set date.

## Essential Concepts (The Fact File Method)
1. **Build the file**: Document age, history, infections, surgeries, and herbal mixtures *before* seeing a clinician.
2. **Make it a couple evaluation**: His semen analysis belongs in the first round of tests, not after months of scans on her.
3. **Cheapest reasonable step first**: Tests get sequenced by what they change, not by what the clinic offers.
4. **Reassess on a date you set**: Turn hope into a 30-day plan ending in a written date.
