My First Visit
Navigating the Path to Parenthood
Infertility can bring uncertainty, affecting physical, emotional, and financial well-being. At Viva Fertility Clinic, we understand the weight of this journey and are here to guide you through it. Your first visit is a crucial step, marking the beginning of a hopeful and informed path to parenthood. Here’s what to expect:
1. Welcoming Support
From the moment you enter our clinic, you are not alone. Our Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) team is here to provide unwavering support, ensuring that your first step is as smooth and comforting as possible.
2. Initial Consultation
Your first meeting with our fertility specialist is more than just a medical check-up; it’s a conversation about your unique journey. We’ll delve into your medical history, focusing on key aspects such as:
- Obstetric and Gynecological History: Previous pregnancies, menstrual cycles, and any gynecological conditions.
- Age: A critical factor influencing reproductive capacity.
- Coital Frequency: Understanding reproductive patterns.
- Previous Fertility Treatments: A detailed look at any past treatments to shape the path forward.
This consultation helps us uncover potential causes of infertility, whether they are male or female factors or a combination of both.
3. Tailored Investigations
Based on your history, our team will recommend specific tests, personalized to your situation. These may include hormone assessments, ultrasounds, and genetic evaluations, helping us get a clearer picture of your fertility.
4. Answering the Big Question
The question “Why can’t I get pregnant?” is central to many journeys. Our team works diligently to provide answers—whether it’s due to ovulation issues, sperm quality, or tubal blockages. Whatever the cause, we strive to give you clarity and understanding.
