Fertility

Having trouble getting pregnant can be an upsetting, frustrating and lonely experience – especially when other people are falling pregnant around you. Greenslopes Obstetrics & Gynaecology provides you with access to caring, independent experts who will help you investigate and hopefully overcome your fertility challenges.

The independent specialists working from GOG will provide a range of services commencing with a thorough medical assessment, through to specific, tailored, and comprehensive investigations into any underlying problems that may be impairing your ability to fall pregnant.

Such fertility investigations may include:

• Full blood examinations including hormonal assays and thyroid studies.
• Assessment of ovarian function and ovarian follicular reserve.
• Thorough analysis of any pre-existing underlying medical problems and physician referral when required.
• Detailed pelvic ultrasounds, hysterosalpingograms, or saline sonohysterograms.
• Semen analysis and hormonal profile for the male partner.
• Laparoscopy to assess tubal function and the presence of any peritoneal disease.

Depending on your results, your doctor can provide ongoing fertility treatment, including:

• Stimulation of ovarian egg release with medications.
• Treatment of endometriosis, pelvic adhesions or tubal damage with minimal invasive surgery.
• Restoration of ovulatory cycles with ovarian surgery.

Finally, referrals can be organised for more specialised treatment such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI) and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), which will be performed at specialist fertility centres. GOG has strong relationships with such providers in order to facilitate any care you should require.
