Fertility Treatment::

Consultation:

Your first contact with the Fertility Specialist is at the consultation appointment. This interview and assessment session is aimed at compiling your medical histories and carrying out an examination, including the male partner in some circumstances, as well as arranging necessary tests. All previous investigations and treatments will be reviewed, and if you have reports or test results, these will be discussed with you. A management plan will be made regarding the optimal treatment for you.  You should feel free to air any concerns, or anxieties, at this stage, and only decide to commence treatment when you are ready. Fertility treatment can be lengthy, involved and stressful and it is only appropriate when you are ready to proceed.

Investigations:

All couples seeking assisted conception treatment are assessed to ensure that they are not placed at unnecessary risk as a result of undergoing treatment.  It is also prudent to ensure that they have the most appropriate treatment for their infertility.
 

Hysterosalpingography (HSG)

This is an X-ray to check whether the Fallopian tubes are blocked as well as to see if there is any abnormality in the shape of the uterus and space within it.  Uterine fibroids, or intrauterine adhesions, can also distort the uterine cavity. (This Test is not available at our Centre)
