Fertility Testing

“When my patients come to me, and are understandably frustrated, I get great joy from bringing them back to a happy place where we can work on their problems, where they’re listened to, and where they have options: the power to make a choice of their own.”

Factors effecting female fertility

Pay me a visit at my fertility practice in Miranda. You’ll immediately feel at ease: it’s a happy place, not a sterile one. So let’s share a tea and a smile, as we discuss your fertility options.

Seize the moment

There’s a crucial relationship between age and fertility, which is key to my ability to help you become a happy new parent. Fertility peaks around the youthful age of 22, then gradually tapers off. But there’s a quicker acceleration in decline around 33, and after 35 it’s like a speeding train – so it’s critical that you take urgent action.

The power of ovulation tracking

Ovulation tracking isn’t just a tool — it’s your compass in the fertility realm, guiding you through your unique reproductive rhythms. Precision is my secret weapon here. By honing in on those optimal moments, I turbocharge your chances of conception. With ovulation tracking, you’re not just waiting, you’re actively shaping your fertility journey.

Weight: the balancing act

Your weight plays a starring role. Elevated BMI can throw your hormonal symphony off-key, disrupting your ovulation and fertility. But with a few tailored lifestyle tweaks, you can swing the odds back in your favour. By fine-tuning your habits, I can boost your chances of conception while enhancing your overall reproductive health.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS affects a significant number of women, demanding a multifaceted approach. I offer a roadmap tailored to you – blending medical expertise with empathetic care. Together, we’ll tackle PCOS head-on, crafting personalised treatment plans to light the way forward, ensuring hope remains a constant companion.

Tackling endometriosis

Endometriosis can cast a long shadow over your fertility dreams, but it’s not an insurmountable obstacle. With meticulous evaluation and compassionate support, I’ll help you navigate the complexities of endometriosis — so it doesn’t stand between you and the joy of parenthood.

Miscarriage: you’re not alone

Navigating miscarriage can feel overwhelming, but please know that I’m here to provide a safe harbour – a happy place to process your emotions and chart a course forward with clarity and compassion.

Female fertility assessments

In your journey towards parenthood, knowledge is power, and I’m here to empower you every step of the way. Fertility assessments are your gateway to understanding your reproductive health, empowering you to make informed decisions. Here’s how I can help:

  • Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH): This biomarker is like a crystal ball, offering insights into your ovarian reserve, guiding me towards the most effective fertility treatments.

 

  • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): A key player in the ovarian orchestra, FSH levels provide crucial clues about your fertility status.

 

  • Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Tracking LH levels helps me fine-tune my approach, optimising your chances of conception by pinpointing ovulation.

 

  • Oestradiol: Your menstrual cycle’s dance partner, oestradiol levels reflect ovarian function, aiding me in tailoring fertility treatment protocols.

 

  • Progesterone: Essential hormone for pregnancy, progesterone supports a healthy uterine lining, essential for embryo implantation.

 

  • Prolactin: Balancing the hormonal equation, prolactin levels ensure your body’s readiness for pregnancy.

 

  • TSH/Thyroid Antibody: Thyroid health is a cornerstone of fertility; I keep a close eye on TSH levels to ensure optimal metabolic regulation.

 

  • Ultrasound Scan: A window into your reproductive anatomy, ultrasound imaging helps me spot any irregularities and plan accordingly.
