Introduction and Purpose of the Woman’s Initial Questionnaire

Why you are receiving this questionnaire
You are being given this Woman’s Questionnaire because you have scheduled an initial evaluation for
infertility or miscarriage. This questionnaire comprehensively addresses relevant issues for your evaluation
and treatment. It was designed by physicians working with Natural Procreative Technology.

How this questionnaire will be used
Your physician will use the information from this questionnaire and the separate questionnaire from your
partner to provide important information for the medical evaluation and your desires for treatment. We will
discuss your responses to many of the items in this questionnaire during our initial visit, and subsequent
visits, as needed.
Natural Procreative Technology (NPT, NaProTechnology)
Our approach to evaluating and treating fertility or pregnancy problems is based on Natural Procreative
Technology (NPT, NaProTechnology). During our visits, we will explain to you specific recommendations for
your unique situation. General information about NPT is available at www.reproductiveinstitute.com.
What to bring to your first (or next) visit
Please bring this questionnaire, even if you haven’t finished filling it out.
Please also bring copies of medical records from any previous evaluations or treatments for infertility that
you may have had. In some cases, it may be more convenient for you to mail these items.
It is best if both you and your partner can attend the initial consultation.
Why there are two questionnaires: woman’s and man’s
Our experience has shown that women and men remember and perceive things differently with regard to a
couple’s fertility problems. In addition, some information is specific to the woman or the man.
Sensitive questions
You may skip any question you are uncomfortable answering. If you choose to skip a question, please place
a line through the question rather than leaving it blank. There may be items that you would prefer not to
discuss in front of your partner. If so, you may CIRCLE the question number to tell us that your response to
this question is confidential and that you prefer that this item NOT be discussed with your partner.
Estimated time to complete questionnaire
It is estimated that this questionnaire will take about 45 minutes to complete for most women.
Questions or comments
If you have any questions or comments or feel a question is inappropriate for your situation, please make a
mark or write a comment at the question or at the end of questionnaire. You may also discuss any questions
or comments with your health provider.
Where to return the questionnaire
Please return the questionnaire to your health provider at the time of your next appointment. Alternatively,
you may mail it to your provider.
Option to participate in the iNEST study
Your health care provider may invite you to participate in an ongoing clinical study to assess live birth rates
among those who consider or receive NPT treatment to conceive or maintain pregnancy. This study is
known as the international NaProTechnology Evaluation and Surveillance of Treatment (iNEST). The
purpose of the iNEST study is to understand the use of NPT, and characteristics that may help us predict
how successful NPT can be for each couple for infertility or miscarriage.
Whether or not you participate in the iNEST study will not affect the clinical care that you receive.
When you are asked, you may choose whether or not to participate in the iNEST study. If you participate,
your answers from this questionnaire will be recorded confidentially for the study. If you do not participate, your answers from this questionnaire will not be reported to the study. Natural Procreative Technology Evaluation for Infertility or Miscarriage
