If trying to have a baby has become difficult, you deserve clear information and room to talk about how you are feeling. You do not have to arrive at an appointment with every question worked out.
Melbourne Wellness doesn't currently offer fertility programmes. Your GP is a starting point for medical assessment and appropriate fertility-service referrals. Healthdirect — Infertility.
When should you speak with your GP?
Healthdirect advises seeking advice after 12 months of trying to conceive if you are under 35, or after six months if you are over 35. Speak with your GP sooner if you already suspect a fertility problem. Ask about timing for your individual circumstances, including if you are 35. Healthdirect — Infertility.
You can also ask about pathways to parenthood if you are single, in a same-sex relationship or considering donor conception. Let the appointment begin with your situation and questions.
Prepare a short list
You might like to bring:
- Your main questions and any previous test results.
- A list of medicines, supplements and herbal products.
- Information about care you already receive.
- Questions about referrals, costs and what happens next.
Ask the clinician to explain why any proposed test is relevant and how its result would change the next step. There is no need to commit to every decision in one conversation.
Include emotional support
Fertility difficulties can be stressful. Healthdirect suggests speaking with your doctor and seeking counselling or relationship support when needed. Healthdirect — Infertility.
Choose whom you want to tell and what kind of help you would welcome. For general ideas about making room for support, read stress and daily routines.
