What to bring
- Your ID
- Blood tests, hormone tests and ultrasound reports from the past year
- Discharge summaries or pathology reports of previous operations
- A list of the medicines and vitamins you take regularly
- The date of your last period and any period tracking records
- For infertility assessment: your partner's semen analysis and records of any previous IVF or insemination treatment
- For pregnancy care: your pregnancy test result and information about previous pregnancies
When should I come?
For a general examination, days outside your period are preferred, but you can be seen during your period if you have symptoms. Some hormone tests for infertility are done on day 2-3 of the cycle, so mentioning this in your request helps with planning.
If you plan to have a smear test, avoid vaginal medication, douching and intercourse for 48 hours beforehand.
What happens during the visit?
The consultation starts with a detailed history: your cycle, previous pregnancies, operations, chronic illnesses and family history. A gynecological examination and ultrasound follow if needed, and any tests and treatment options are planned together with you.
Write down your questions
It is common to remember questions only after the visit. Writing them down beforehand helps you make the most of your consultation.
