Fertility Assessment

A fertility assessment is available to women, men, individuals and couples, and you do not need to have a diagnosed fertility problem to benefit from one. Whether you are planning for a future pregnancy, have concerns about your fertility, have been trying to conceive, are preparing to use donor eggs or donor sperm, or simply want to better understand your reproductive health, an assessment can provide valuable insight.

Ovulation Induction (OI)

OI is a fertility treatment that uses medication to help stimulate ovulation and encourage the ovaries to release an egg. It is often recommended for people who have irregular or absent ovulation and may be combined with advice on the best time to try for pregnancy naturally or with intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a simple, minimally invasive fertility treatment that involves placing prepared sperm directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. By bringing sperm closer to the egg at the right time, IUI can help improve the chance of pregnancy. IUI may be recommended for people experiencing unexplained infertility, mild sperm concerns, difficulties with ovulation timing, or those using donor sperm.

Egg Freezing

Egg freezing gives you the option to preserve your eggs for potential use in the future. For some women and AFAB, fertility preservation can provide greater flexibility while they build their careers, relationships, financial security or simply take the time they need to decide if and when they want to have a family.

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

IVF may be recommended for a range of fertility circumstances, including difficulties conceiving, ovulation or sperm-related factors, blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, endometriosis, unexplained infertility, or when other fertility treatments have not been successful. IVF can also provide a pathway to parenthood for people using donor eggs or sperm, or those who require assisted reproductive treatment for other medical or personal circumstances.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

ICSI is an advanced fertility treatment technique used alongside IVF to help fertilisation occur. During ICSI, a single sperm is carefully injected directly into an egg in the laboratory, rather than allowing sperm and egg to fertilise naturally in the laboratory dish. It be recommended when there are male fertility factors, including low sperm numbers, reduced sperm movement or abnormal sperm shape.

Embryo Transfer

An embryo transfer may only take a short amount of time, but we know that it represents months, and sometimes years, of hope, decisions, treatment and emotional investment.

Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

PGT is a specialised genetic testing technique used alongside IVF to assess embryos for specific genetic or chromosomal conditions before an embryo is transferred to the uterus. PGT may be considered for people who have an increased risk of passing on a known genetic condition, certain chromosomal abnormalities, or who have experienced particular fertility or pregnancy challenges.
