Fertility Stories

By: | Tags:

Delighted to share a success story below from one of our delighted patients Around 3 years ago my husband and I made the decision to start trying for a baby; we were both so excited and couldn’t wait to be one of ‘those’ couples who could share their baby news with the world. Although this excitement was coupled with a secret feeling of dread, I had been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome some years earlier and began to worry this wasn’t going to be as easy as we first hoped.

Having worked in the field of gynaecology for the past 13 years I knew from an early stage that I was destined for a career in the fertility field.

Ovulation problems: The term ovulation implies release of an egg from the egg sac (follicle) of the ovary. This usually occurs mid-cycle i.e. day 14 of a 28 day cycle, but the day of ovulation can vary from month to month. Generally, women who have regular periods are ovulating, however, this becomes more dysfunctional and irregular as a woman gets older. Eggs are released when they are mature and this is dependent on the size of the follicle, which grows from a few millimeters at the start of a period […]
