Fertility Health Assessment and Support Programme
Our Fertility Health Assessment is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of your fertility and any potential areas that may need support, helping you optimise your chances of conceiving. This thorough assessment includes an in-depth evaluation of your medical and reproductive history, followed by a holistic assessment of key fertility health areas, including hormonal balance, lifestyle factors, and emotional well-being.
What is Infertility?
Infertility can be a complex issue, and it’s important to understand that every individual’s fertility journey is different. While one factor alone may not indicate a fertility issue, a combination of concerns or persistent difficulties in conceiving might require further investigation and support.
Examples can include:
- Difficulty conceiving after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse (or 6 months if you have an underlying medical condition or are over 35 years of age)
- Irregular menstrual cycles or absent periods
- Recurrent miscarriages or pregnancy loss
- Failed IVF or other fertility treatments
- Hormonal imbalances affecting ovulation
- Low sperm count or poor sperm motility in male partners
- Hormonal Health We recommend assessing your hormonal balance, focusing on key hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, and thyroid function. These hormones play a vital role in regulating ovulation, maintaining a healthy pregnancy, and supporting reproductive health.
- Lifestyle and Environmental Factors Your daily habits can have a significant impact on your fertility. We look at factors such as diet, physical activity, stress levels, and environmental exposures (e.g., toxins and chemicals) that may influence your reproductive health. We also explore supplementation, recommending specific vitamins, and supplements to support fertility and hormonal balance, based on your individual needs.
- Emotional and Mental Well-being The emotional toll of infertility can be immense. We offer support for mental health helping you manage the stress, anxiety, or grief associated with fertility challenges. This aspect of care is essential for maintaining overall well-being during your journey.
