  • Fertility evaluation and treatment planning

The recommended treatment depends on several factors, including the patient’s medical history, age, test results, previous fertility treatment, and overall clinical assessment.

When to Consult a Fertility Specialist

A fertility consultation may be worth considering if you have been trying to conceive without success or have a known or suspected condition that may affect fertility.
You may consider consulting a fertility specialist if:

  • You have been trying to conceive for 12 months, or for six months when the female partner is 35 or older.
  • You have irregular or absent periods.
  • You have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis or another condition that may affect fertility.
  • You have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss.
  • Previous test results suggest poor ovarian reserve or some other reproductive issue.
  • There is a known or suspected male fertility factor.
  • You have had unsuccessful IUI or IVF treatment.
  • You need guidance about donor-assisted treatment or fertility preservation.

Seeking an evaluation does not necessarily mean that you will need IVF. The appropriate approach depends on the underlying cause, medical history and findings from the fertility assessment.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

The tests and procedures Dr Ashwini S recommends will depend on the initial consultation, during which she may need information about your medical history, fertility history, past fertility test reports, and other treatment details you have gone through to date. You can discuss with her the conception problems that you are facing. Based on your consultation, we may order further tests and assessments before deciding on the next steps. Some of the procedures that would take place during your consultation include
  • Reviewing your medical history and reports.
  • Analysis of the male and female factors that could lead to infertility.
  • Deciding whether any other tests are needed.
  • Discussion of findings and available treatment options.
  • Choosing the appropriate next steps and preparing a treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an IVF specialist do?

An IVF specialist evaluates the possible reasons why a couple may be having difficulty conceiving and helps decide what treatment may be appropriate. Depending on the situation, this may include ovulation induction, IUI, IVF, ICSI, embryo transfer or donor-assisted treatment. The recommended option will depend on the patient’s medical history and fertility assessment.

When should I consult Dr Ashwini S?

You may consider consulting Dr Ashwini S if you have been trying to conceive without success, have irregular periods, recurrent pregnancy loss or a known fertility condition. A consultation may also be helpful after unsuccessful fertility treatment or if your fertility tests have raised concerns that you would like to discuss.

What should I bring to my first fertility consultation?

It helps to bring previous medical records, fertility test reports, ultrasound or scan reports, treatment summaries, and details of current or previous medications. You should also be prepared to discuss your menstrual and pregnancy history. If applicable, bringing your partner’s fertility reports can provide useful information during the assessment.

Does every patient need IVF?

No. IVF is one of several fertility treatment options. Whether IVF is appropriate depends on factors such as the underlying diagnosis, age, ovarian reserve, semen parameters, medical history, duration of infertility and previous treatment. Options for treatments can be discussed by the fertility doctor after going through your medical history and other clinical parameters.

Can I get a personalised fertility treatment plan?

Yes. Fertility treatment planning is based on the individual patient’s medical and fertility history, previous reports, examination and any investigations considered clinically necessary. The recommended approach may differ from one patient to another depending on the factors identified during the evaluation.
