Male fertility: assessment and semen sample preparation

Fertility assessment involves both partners. A single semen result cannot determine whether someone can or cannot conceive.

Prenatal care: from your first visit to birth

Different stages of pregnancy need different assessments. You do not need to wait for your scheduled appointment if concerning symptoms develop.

NIPT and amniocentesis: screening versus diagnosis

NIPT estimates the chance of certain chromosome conditions. It has a different role from diagnostic testing using an amniotic fluid sample.

Detailed fetal ultrasound: what it checks and how to prepare

This scan examines fetal anatomy. It is not the same as taking 3D or 4D pictures.

Gestational diabetes: the glucose test and follow-up care

Gestational diabetes is not limited to people who eat a lot of sweets. Pregnancy-related metabolic changes can raise blood glucose without obvious symptoms.

Endometriosis, ovarian endometriomas and fertility planning

Pain severity does not always match the extent of disease. Treatment considers symptoms, ovarian health and whether you are trying to conceive.

Egg, sperm and embryo freezing: assessment and preparation

Fertility preservation can support future choices. Freezing does not guarantee a future pregnancy or live birth.

IVF: from initial assessment to care after embryo transfer

In vitro fertilization involves fertilizing eggs with sperm in a laboratory, growing embryos and transferring an embryo to the uterus. Discuss why IVF is being considered and what other options may be suitable.

Considering donor eggs: assessment before treatment

A low AMH result alone does not mean donor eggs are necessary. Decisions also consider age, history, earlier treatment response and personal preferences.

What does a fertility assessment look at?

Assessment starts with both partners' circumstances. Not everyone needs the same package of tests.

Uterine fibroids and pregnancy

Having fibroids is not the same as being infertile. Their location and effect on the uterine cavity matter alongside their size.

Postpartum visits: recovery of body and mind

Postpartum care is an ongoing process, adapted to your birth experience, symptoms and medical conditions.

Perineal scars and vaginal repair after childbirth

For women after one or more vaginal births: understand scar pain, discomfort during sex, pelvic floor symptoms and the options before considering surgery.
