The initial fertility consultation is an important first step in gaining a clearer understanding of your fertility. It offers a safe and supportive opportunity to learn more about your fertility and discuss your future family plans with a doctor. During the appointment, we will get to know your situation and, if needed, plan the next steps according to your individual needs.
As a general recommendation, you should seek fertility examinations after one year of regular attempts to conceive. If the woman is over 35, it is advisable to seek examinations after six months of trying, and even earlier if there is a known factor that may affect fertility or if she is over 40. You can seek fertility examinations at any stage if you have concerns about your fertility.
The initial fertility consultation is a low-threshold consultation and assessment appointment with a doctor. The purpose of the appointment is to gain an overall understanding of your situation, answer any questions you may have and assess which examinations or treatments could be helpful for you. The appointment does not commit you to further treatment. You can take your time to explore your options and make decisions at your own pace.
Your health, menstrual and possible pregnancy history, as well as other factors that may affect fertility, will be reviewed.
Any individual follow-up examinations will be planned, such as blood tests including AMH, a fallopian tube patency test or a semen analysis.
Treatment is always planned together with you. The initial fertility consultation is an introductory and assessment appointment, after which you can consider the next steps in your own time.
You do not need a doctor’s referral for the initial fertility consultation. You can book an appointment directly with Ovumia through our website. If you have any previous test results, such as blood test results or findings from earlier fertility examinations, we recommend bringing them with you to the appointment. To help the doctor gain as complete an understanding of your situation as possible already during the initial fertility consultation, we kindly ask you to complete the pre-appointment form online in advance. This allows the appointment time to be used efficiently for the questions and topics that matter most to you.
The cost of fertility examinations consists of the initial fertility consultation and any individually selected examinations. Because every situation is different, the scope and total cost of the examinations may vary. The price of the initial fertility consultation consists of the doctor’s consultation, ultrasound examination and any additional tests, such as an AMH blood test or semen analysis. During the initial fertility consultation, the doctor will assess your situation and recommend the examinations that may be needed, giving you a clearer understanding of any possible further costs. You can find our up-to-date prices in our price list.
The initial fertility consultation gives you the opportunity to receive a doctor’s assessment of your situation and discuss any questions you may have in a confidential and supportive environment. Whether you are planning a pregnancy now or in the future, the first visit helps create an overall picture of your fertility and possible next steps. Examinations and treatments are always planned individually, with your needs and wishes carefully listened to.
