Fertility Assessment

At your first appointment, I will conduct an initial assessment to ensure I have a thorough understanding of your medical history, general health, and lifestyle. I will also spend time getting to know you and understanding what’s important to you, so that, together, we can create a treatment journey that’s right for you.

Based on the results from the initial assessment, I will recommend some preliminary tests and investigations. Your tests and investigations may include some or all of the following:

Female

Blood tests
A blood test in the first week of your cycle to measure the levels of estrogen hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), anti mullerian hormone (AMH) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels.

A pelvic ultrasound scan
A pelvic ultrasound scan will determine if any structural changes to the uterus can impact your fertility. The presence of fibroids, polyps, and adenomyosis may affect your treatment. I will also measure the size and location of your ovaries and count the number of small follicles present in your ovaries. The ultrasound also provides a 'baseline' report that can be used as a reference during your treatment. Importantly, it is very common that we may find something very simple to correct that will allow for a successful pregnancy to occur.

Men

Motility: The sperm’s swimming ability.

Morphology: The shape of the sperm.
