What to expect from Create Health
Your first appointment will be a long consultation with an experienced fertility specialist who will listen to your experience so far to understand your unique story. We will discuss your medical history, reproductive history and lifestyle and there may be a physical examination or investigations requested for you so we can better understand your specific fertility issues.
As a trusted provider of fertility testing in Melbourne, our specialists offer a comprehensive range of assessments including:
- Semen analysis to measure quantity and quality of sperm, and identify or rule out male infertility. Our IVF doctors in Melbourne can also discuss sperm extraction in Melbourne where required
- Pre-pregnancy and hormone related blood tests, overseen by our experienced reproductive health specialists
- Genetic carrier screening – recommended by our reproductive health specialists to help you make informed decisions before treatment begins
- AMH test (Anti-Müllerian hormone) – this test can be described as an “egg count” check and is generally a good indicator of ovarian reserve, helping our egg freezing doctors determine the best path forward for fertility preservation
- Fallopian tube testing and or pelvic ultrasound to check the reproductive tract is functioning, guided by our skilled IVF doctors in Melbourne to ensure a thorough and personalised assessment
The results of these tests may give us a clear picture of the next step forward but sometimes, it is more complex, and may take further time to get to the bottom of the problem.
Usually the suggested fertility treatment and action plan will be discussed at your second appointment. Many factors contribute to treatment choice. Your test results, how long you have been trying to conceive, your age, especially the woman’s age, and your personal values will be considered.
Your Create Health fertility specialist will encourage you to take an active role in treatment options and we will explain all your choices and the possible outcomes.
Your individualised fertility treatment plan could involve:
- Ovulation induction (OI)
- Intra-uterine Insemination (IUI)
- Assisted reproduction (IVF, ICSI, sperm freezing, egg freezing, and embryo cryopreservation, testicular sperm extraction)
- Pre-implantation genetic or chromosomal testing (PGT or PGS)
- Advanced endoscopic surgery, including removal of pelvic adhesions, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts and polyps
The Create Health team are caring and experienced. They will spend quality time with you, learn why you are experiencing difficulties and fully explain this to you. They will guide you through the best options for you, reassure you and answer your questions.
