Fertility Evaluation
Considers both partners and evaluates ovulation, ovarian reserve, uterus, tubes and semen to create a focused plan.
Fertility care begins by understanding both partners and selecting only relevant investigations. Each option is explained honestly, with a personalised plan and ongoing emotional support.
Which fertility reports should you bring?
Prepare a dated list of previous tests and treatments, your medicines, relevant surgery and any previous pregnancies. Bring original reports rather than only a summary. Ask which investigations are needed now, what each result could change and whether any previous test genuinely needs repeating. Agree on a follow-up appointment for discussing the results together.

Understanding Fertility Evaluation
What does Fertility Evaluation care involve?
Considers both partners and evaluates ovulation, ovarian reserve, uterus, tubes and semen to create a focused plan. Recommendations are made after reviewing symptoms, medical history, investigations and personal priorities.
When should I arrange a consultation?
Arrange a consultation when symptoms are persistent, worsening, affecting daily life or causing concern. Urgent or severe symptoms require prompt assessment through an appropriate emergency service.
Should both partners attend a fertility consultation?
Where possible, bring both partners’ medical and fertility histories. Fertility difficulties can involve either partner or both, so focusing only on one person can leave important questions unanswered.
