| For couples that are considering fertility treatment we have listed some of typical tests to expect, what you should do to prepare for them, and fees. To reduce the number of unnecessary trips, costs, investigation time, and stress we ask that both partners come for the first visit so that both can be tested at the same time. Testing takes about half a day. |
Women
- If you have been measuring and charting your Basal Body Temperature, please bring your temperature chart with you.
- If possible please schedule your first visit during a week where you are in a high BBT temperature phase so that the condition of your endometrial layer can be accurately assessed. (In cases where this is may not be possible you can still visit anytime other than during menstruation.)
- Hysterosalpinograms are usually not performed during the first visit but for those cases when a patient has been recommended by a physician to have a hysterosalpinogram or when a distant patient feels she may require one during her 1st visit we ask that you please contact us so that we can book an appointment for this procedure.
- In the case where a hysterosalpinogram may be required we ask that you abstain from unprotected intercourse during the high BBT temperature phase prior to your visit.
|
Men
- Please abstain from ejaculating for 2-3 days prior to your visit.
- Please bring with you any test results obtained from other hospitals that you may have. If for some reason during your first visit you require a testicular biopsy, or would like to have your sperm frozen please contact us so that we may book appointment for these procedures.
