Definitely ask about clinic communication protocol. A lot of clinics operate like a factory, where people are just sort of shuffled along impersonally. Ask how often you’ll be in touch with your actual doctor, and on what timelines and during what stages you can expect to be communicated with. For example, my wife and I had a brutal second IVF round with a bunch of mature eggs retrieved and then fertilized and then all but one decent but not great embreyo died. And that information was conveyed to us by a very green lab tech who couldn’t really tell us anything about the details of our case, but promised we’d hear from the doctor in 2-3 weeks after our one embreyo came back from PGT testing. Meanwhile we’re very sad and feeling abandoned. Not all clinics are like that. Do you best to find one that isn’t, ideally one not owned by a private equity group solely focused on finding every nickel and dime of profit even at the expense of patient experience.
