I bring the latest scientific and technological advances to the table.
When trying for a baby things don’t always go to plan. While I provide the leading assisted reproductive technologies and techniques in many cases success can be achieved by making some simple lifestyle changes. I discuss in detail with my patients the small evidence-based lifestyle changes they and their partners can make that can impact fertility success.
Fertility services
There is much we can do to improve conception likelihood without medical intervention. I often discuss lifestyle and environmental factors that impact your fertility. However, if required, I provide the following fertility services:- Ovulation induction
- In-vitro fertilisation (IVF)
- IVF with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
- Egg freezing
- Male factor infertility investigations
- Oncofertility preservation
- Gamete (sperm and ovum) Donation
- Cycle tracking
- Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI)
Fertility Investigations
Little is known about how contemporary Australians of reproductive age manage fertility options. An estimated 1 in 6 couples in Australia are unable to conceive without medical intervention, highlighting the need for further investigation into the association between infertility and its many causes, including lifestyle factors, age, and stress.
Semen analysis is a crucial part of assessing male fertility and evaluating sperm volume, concentration, motility, and morphology. It helps determine the sperm’s potential to reach and fertilize an egg.
Antenatal screening blood tests are an essential part of prenatal care, aimed at identifying potential health risks and conditions.
Assesses risk factors such as obesity, oxidative stress, and conditions like the female athlete triad to understand their impact on female fertility and infertility treatment.
Assessing hormone levels includes measuring follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, progesterone, prolactin, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in women, and testosterone in men.
Optimal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are crucial for ovulation and pregnancy, with abnormal levels potentially impacting fertility.
Accurate measurements of serum androgens are essential for diagnosing PCOS and ruling out other conditions that may affect fertility, such as late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia and ovarian or adrenal tumors.
Pelvic ultrasound and fallopian tube testing are vital components of fertility assessment. Transvaginal ultrasound can reveal structural issues in the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, such as fibroids, polyps, and ovarian cysts.
PGT carrier tests are a range of genetic test that analyzes a person’s DNA to determine if they are a carrier for specific genetic conditions.
