Initial consultation
What happens at your first appointment?
The doctor reviews the patient’s situation and any previous fertility-treatment history, discusses wishes and explains potentially suitable options. A gynaecological ultrasound can be performed, including during menstruation, and blood tests may be taken. Couples are encouraged to attend together. After the doctor, the patient can also speak with a midwife, and the page recommends reserving roughly 60minutes for the visit.
Contact OvumiaSupport and guidance on lifestyle choices that promote fertility and treatment
Your lifestyle can affect your fertility. Ovumia recommends regular moderate exercise, a varied and balanced diet, adequate intake of folic acid, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding nicotine products and recreational drugs. We also recommend avoiding NSAID medications around the time of ovulation and ensuring that sexually transmitted infections are treated appropriately.
