There are also requirements for every patient having fertility treatments with us:

FOR WOMEN

You should be on Folic Acid (minimum dose 0.4mg daily) or any good multi-vitamin supplement containing folic acid.

You should have had the initial blood tests done (these can be discussed and done at your New Nurse appointment).

Depending on your treatment, all required blood tests for you and your partner should be done (e.g. infectious screening bloods for IVF and donor sperm).

Any tests that you have done before e.g. blood tests, HSG films (tube x-ray) and laparoscopy surgery reports should be brought to the clinic for us to review to ensure we don’t repeat any tests unnecessarily and have all the information we need to help you choose your treatment.

FOR MEN

You should be on any good multi-vitamin supplement.

You should have had a sperm test done in our lab.

Depending on your treatment, all required blood tests for you and your partner should be done (e.g. infectious screening bloods for IVF).

Any tests that you have done before e.g. blood tests, sperm tests, surgery reports should be brought to the clinic for us to review to ensure we don’t repeat any tests unnecessarily.

Your treatment may be delayed if the required tests are not completed. All these steps help us to provide you with the safest and most successful treatments.
