If it turns out that you have a fertility issue,  you have every reason to be optimistic - IVF science has advanced very rapidly in recent years,  with more and more people conceiving through assisted conception. Our doctors are all very highly qualified with vast experience in treating fertility issues. We know how important it is to have a team who understands your individual situation and can design a tailored treatment plan for you. So whilst our Q&A is great for giving generalised advice, at a consultation we can look at your full history, we’ll do some basic health checks such as your Body Mass Index and blood pressure, carry out a pelvic ultrasound scan, arrange a semen analysis if necessary and carry out some blood tests (checking for anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels). We'll talk you through your individualised fertility treatment options,
