Southend Fertility & IVF Procedure

Your initial consultation with one of our fertility specialist doctors will include a review of your medical histories. Both you and your spouse may undergo a full physical examination, including an internal examination for women, while men may be asked to produce a semen sample for analysis. We will then explore all the options with you and come to an agreement on a suitable type of treatment. We will talk you through the process, introduce you to the nursing staff, prescribe any indicated drugs and set a date for your treatment to commence.

In some cases, we may need to carry out further investigations before starting treatment, such as an examination of the inside of your womb, an ultrasound scan of your womb, ovaries and pelvic organs or an analysis of certain hormone levels. These tests can be carried out either at the fertility center, or your own gynaecologist, or other specialist. Following the consultation and assessment, we will be able to talk to you about the most appropriate treatment.

My long cherished desire of having a sibling for my son was fulfilled by Dr. Sonia Malik & her team. Their personalized case and interest for every individual patient is praise worthy. I am so grateful to God that there are people like Dr. Malik around to realize their dreams of patients like me. So much so, that I have decided to call my daughter Sonia!

For your protection and that of any child, we will need certain blood test results before we offer you treatment. Prospective parents must have a negative result for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV. We must also have evidence that the prospective mother is immune to rubella, as well as her sickle cell anaemia and Thalassaemia status for those in high-risk groups. Prospective mothers (and fathers who might need any surgical procedure) with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 30 should try to reduce this number before starting treatment. Please contact us if you are unsure about your BMI.
