Fertility Health Check

A good start in preparation is getting a clear picture about your fertility health. Proactive steps like pre-conception testing and diagnosis can help you assess your fertility and diagnose obstacles and challenges in the conception stage. You can also preserve your fertility by freezing your embryos and sperm.

By understanding your body and knowing your reproductive health early in the planning process can increase the chances of having a baby. Our fertility team will want to learn more about you through a review of your medical history, as well as doing a physical examination.

Many of our patients start here by Booking a nurse chat with us. It’s a phone call with one of our fertility nurses or fertility team. Begin asking your initial questions: nursechat.sg@monashivf.com

Practicing a page in self-care and reminding yourself that your fertility path is unique to you can help you propel forward in seeking answers to your questions and discussing options with a fertility specialist.

Infertility is caused by issues with the female’s reproductive system in 30% of cases. Another 30% of cases are due to male infertility. A further 30% of cases are a combination of both male and female factors, and the remaining 10% of cases are unexplained.
