In vitro fertilisation, more commonly known as IVF, is a treatment involving a series of procedures that can lead to pregnancy.
This treatment of infertility begins with a gynaecological consultation and examination.
Has It been a few months and you can't get pregnant? Don't let this discourage you! It just means there are a few extra steps you need to take toward realising your dream of becoming a parent, through IVF.
The first step to building the family you want is to recognise you need help from an infertility specialist. We advise you get in contact with an infertility specialist if you present the following:
- You have been trying to get pregnant for a year and you are under 36 years old
- You have been trying to get pregnant for six months, and you are over 36 years old
- Your partner has an abnormal semen analysis
- You have polycystic ovaries
- You have/had cases of premature ovarian failure or sterility in your family
- You or your partner have had treatment that affects female or male fertility: major operations on reproductive organs, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy.
If you have been facing difficulties with getting pregnant, the next step is to get in contact with us.
You can establish contact with our experts in several ways, but first, we advise you to get to know our experts.
After that, you can contact us to book an appointment with our consultants.
The third step is our joint one and represents the beginning of the path to parenthood.
The first examination is the beginning of your path to parenthood. This path can be long, and winding, but it is important that we reach the goal at the end - and that is pregnancy!
At the first examination, we advise you bring all the analyses you have done and everything you think is important for your current situation.
We say 'current' because infertility is a condition that can be successfully overcome. It is important that you develop a sense of trust with our team as treating infertility is a team effort.
What does the first review look like?
An integral part of this first examination is, after taking an extensive look into your history, an ultrasound examination.
After that, the doctor will go through the documentation you have brought.
The doctor may suggest some additional tests that helps us understand your health condition, or tests that are done in order to prepare for IVF procedures.
After this, the doctor makes a treatment plan specific to each couple individually, so don't be surprised if you don't have a treatment plan similar to someone you know or heard about.
After this examination, as a starting point, the doctor will ask the partner to do a semen analysis.
Since infertility is not only a matter of one partner but of the couple as such, neither person can be treated alone.
Our team is here for you, during your journey to parenthood.
