Where possible, we will use the simplest and least invasive option however if required it’s good to know you’ll have access to some of the most advanced reproductive technology in the world.
At Sims we have a holistic approach to treatment. Once we understand what is affecting your fertility, we can discuss all the options based on your personal circumstances and work with you to put together a tailored treatment plan.
If you have been trying to conceive for 12 months (6 months if you are over 35 years of age) we recommend you book an appointment with a fertility specialist.
The first step is to undergo some routine tests to help identify any fertility issues.
Our treatments include:
Fertility Testing
A panel of tests designed to give you an overview of your current fertility status. Ideal for couples or individuals who have recently started trying to conceive or who are considering trying for a baby in the future.
IUI or Artificial insemination
The procedure involves inserting prepared sperm (from a partner or donor) into the uterus close to the time of ovulation.
IVF
After a course of ovarian stimulation, eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in the laboratory. One of the resulting embryos is transferred back into the uterus.
ICSI
A more sophisticated form of IVF, where the scientist injects a single sperm into the egg to assist fertilisation.
Preimplantation Genetic Screening
An advanced scientific technique that can be used to screen embryos for a chromosome abnormality and other disorders.
