Around half of the couples we see in clinic are looking to conceive naturally. Some have started trying relatively recently and others may have already explored other options. Some patients are looking to conceive their first child, while others may be having difficulties having subsequent children.
We first conduct a detailed consultation where we discuss in detail the issues your facing and have experienced in terms of your fertility journey thus far. We will look at any recent scans, tests etc. you may have had as well as family history and any medications you may be taking.
We will also look to understand your current lifestyle, diet and emotional status as we build up a holistic picture of your well being. Emotional wellbeing we have found to be particularly significant where couples have been trying to conceive for a while without success either naturally or via IVF or have experienced miscarriages.
We will also look at your menstrual cycle in an attempt to regulate it. This may involve changing the length or regularity of the cycle, the heaviness and nature of the period, or premenstrual symptoms. Making these improvements can improve mature egg quality, fertile mucus and the endometrium which in turn increase the likelihood of fertilization and implantation.
We pay close attention to every detail of your menstrual cycle and by studying the subtle changes in symptoms and temperature we can provide a very targeted treatment. Our aim with each treatment depend on where you are in your cycle and what your body needs to be doing at that time.
Similarly for men, the overall health is looked at to see what impact it is having on the quality of the sperm production.
Our therapies support and enhance both natural conception and in all stages of IVF treatment.
