Areas of care

Fertility care, explained honestly.

Each area below is explained the way it would be in the consultation room — what it means, when it's considered, and what happens next. No jargon left unexplained, and no outcome promised.

01 — Area of care

IVF & ICSI

IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) and ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) are lab-based techniques that bring egg and sperm together outside the body, used when natural conception or simpler treatments haven't worked.

In IVF, eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in the laboratory; ICSI adds a step where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg, often used for male-factor infertility or after earlier fertilisation difficulties.

Both are considered when less invasive options — including IUI — haven't led to pregnancy, or when factors such as blocked fallopian tubes, low ovarian reserve, or significant male-factor infertility make IVF the appropriate starting point. Protocols are adapted for individual response, including for a poor ovarian response to stimulation.

IUI

IUI (intrauterine insemination) places specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation — often a first-line option for couples with milder fertility challenges.

It's typically combined with ovulation tracking or mild stimulation medication to improve timing, and is usually considered before IVF for unexplained infertility, mild male-factor infertility, or ovulatory irregularities — provided the fallopian tubes are open and healthy.

As a less invasive, lower-intensity step, IUI isn't the right fit for every diagnosis; whether it's appropriate is decided after a full evaluation, not assumed by default.

03 — Area of care

PCOS / PCOD

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) disrupts ovulation and hormone balance, and is one of the most common — and most treatable — causes of difficulty conceiving.

Care starts with confirming the diagnosis and addressing the broader metabolic picture — weight, insulin resistance, thyroid function — alongside fertility, since PCOS affects more than ovulation alone.

Ovulation induction with medication is usually the first step; depending on response, this may be combined with IUI or, where appropriate, IVF. Because PCOS is a long-term hormonal condition, management continues beyond conception.

04 — Area of care

Endometriosis

Endometriosis — tissue similar to the uterine lining growing outside the uterus — can affect fertility, and care begins with evaluating how extensively it has spread before deciding a path forward.

Evaluation may include ultrasound and, in some cases, laparoscopic surgery to stage the condition and check ovarian reserve.

Depending on severity and age, options range from medical management and surgery to IUI or IVF. Because endometriosis can affect egg quality and ovarian reserve over time, fertility preservation is also discussed where relevant.

05 — Area of care

Male-factor infertility

In roughly half of couples facing infertility, a male-factor contributes — which is why evaluation always includes both partners, not just one.

A semen analysis is the starting point; the findings guide whether the path forward is lifestyle and medical correction, IUI, or ICSI, where a single healthy sperm is selected and injected directly into an egg.

Couple-centred planning means both partners' results shape the plan together, rather than treating male-factor infertility as a secondary concern.

06 — Area of care

Recurrent implantation failure & pregnancy loss

Recurrent implantation failure and recurrent pregnancy loss both call for a structured work-up to look for a treatable cause, rather than repeating the same protocol unchanged.

Investigation may cover uterine anatomy, hormonal and immune factors, clotting profiles, and genetic screening for either partner, depending on the history.

Findings are used to adjust the protocol, timing, or additional support in a subsequent cycle. This is a case, more than most, where a single blended success percentage would be genuinely misleading — every work-up is individual.

07 — Area of care

Fertility preservation

Fertility preservation — freezing eggs or embryos — keeps future biological-parenthood options open, whether for medical reasons or personal timing.

It's commonly considered before cancer treatment (oncofertility), before surgery affecting the ovaries, or simply to preserve options at a younger age.

The process involves ovarian stimulation, egg or embryo retrieval, and cryopreservation — with a clear discussion of realistic timelines and storage requirements before anyone proceeds.

08 — Area of care

High-risk pregnancy

A pregnancy conceived after fertility treatment, or one carrying other risk factors, is followed as a high-risk pregnancy — with closer monitoring from the first trimester.

Care continues with the same clinical team through delivery rather than a handoff to a separate obstetrician after a positive result, since how a pregnancy was conceived — including multiples after IVF — shapes the monitoring plan.

The aim is coordinated, continuous care through what can otherwise feel like a fragmented journey.

From first visit to delivery

How care works here.

  1. 01

    Individualised evaluation

    Every case starts with your history, investigations, and a clear diagnosis — never a standard package.

  2. 02

    Honest options discussion

    You hear every clinically appropriate option, from the least invasive up, and why each is or isn't right for you.

  3. 03

    Written estimate

    Costs are set out in writing before any procedure begins, not after.

  4. 04

    Informed consent

    Nothing proceeds without your signed, informed understanding of what a treatment involves.

  5. 05

    Treatment

    Care follows the agreed protocol, adjusted as your response and results are monitored.

  6. 06

    Continuity through pregnancy

    If treatment leads to a pregnancy, care continues with the same team through delivery, not a handoff elsewhere.
