If you’re under 35 and haven’t conceived after a year of trying, or over 35 and haven’t conceived after six months, it’s a good time for an evaluation. Irregular cycles, known conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, or a partner with known fertility concerns are also reasons to come in sooner.
A detailed history, a hormonal and ovulation assessment, and imaging to check the uterus and ovaries. For couples, a semen analysis is usually part of the picture too. Most of this can be completed within one menstrual cycle.
IUI places prepared sperm directly into the uterus around ovulation — a simpler, lower-intervention option. IVF involves fertilising eggs with sperm outside the body and transferring an embryo back into the uterus. Which one is recommended depends on your specific diagnosis, age, and prior treatment history.
No fertility treatment can guarantee a pregnancy — success depends on age, diagnosis, and individual response to treatment. What a good clinic can offer is a realistic, personalised assessment of your odds and a plan built around your specific situation.
Because laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery uses small incisions, pain and scarring are significantly less than with open surgery, and most patients go home within a day or two, resuming normal activity within one to two weeks depending on the procedure.
Once a year is the general recommendation for most women, even without symptoms — it’s when cervical screening, general health checks, and any early concerns get caught before they become bigger issues.
PCOS is diagnosed using a combination of irregular or absent periods, signs of excess androgens (like acne or excess hair growth), and ultrasound findings — not any single test alone. It’s common for PCOS to be missed or misdiagnosed
for years, so a thorough workup matters.
PCOS is a hormonal condition that’s managed, not cured. The good news is that with the right combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and monitoring, symptoms - including irregular cycles and fertility challenges - can be well controlled.
Not necessarily. Irregular cycles can also come from thyroid issues, stress, significant weight changes, or other hormonal conditions. An evaluation helps pin down the actual cause rather than guessing.

Ideally as soon as you get a positive pregnancy test, or by 6–8 weeks. Early visits confirm the pregnancy’s location and viability and let us start baseline screening early.
“High-risk” simply means a pregnancy needs closer monitoring — due to factors like maternal age, pre-existing conditions, or a previous pregnancy complication. It doesn’t mean something is currently wrong; it means extra precautions are being taken.
