• Well-Woman Program
  One 2-hour visit between  5 days after and 5 days before menses (includes a detailed physical and naturopathic examination, blood/urine tests for female hormones, biochemistry, haematology, cholesterol, thyroid profiles, swab, pap smear and pelvic gynaecological diagnostic ultrasound scan).

• Monitored Cycle - Fertility Assessment
  4 visits, one on cycle day 1 or 2, one at midcycle and one in third week of cycle and a final summary visit. Includes FSH, LH, oestrogen, progesterone serum levels, Chlamydia antibodies screen, three pelvic ultrasound exams and BBT chart interpretation. The initial consultation fee is additional. Ultrasound fallopian tube patency assessment using the HyCoSy system can be included if indicated (£245.00 extra).

• Trisomy Risk Profile (accredited by The Fetal Medicine Foundation) click here
  One visit between week 11 and 14 of pregnancy. This profile is a combined maternal blood test and a nuchal translucency ultrasound scan. The blood test measures Free beta hCG and PAPP-A. The serum levels and nuchal thickness are then combined with maternal age in a Fetal Medicine Foundation computer program which calculates the risk of Down's Syndrome (Trisomy 21). A full hardcopy report is provided to all patients.

• Tubal Patency Assessment (HyCoSy)                       One visit at our Richmond practice between day 8 and day 12 of a natural unprotected menstrual cycle or anytime in the cycle if reliable contraception is being used. HyCoSy is a transvaginal ultrasound technique in which a solution of galactose  is infused into the uterine cavity and observed to flow along the Fallopian tubes to assess tubal patency.

   

• Saline Infusion Sonography (SIS)                           This is a simple procedure, able to be performed in the office. It allows the presence, nature, size, vascularity and site of attachment of a mass in the uterine cavity to be assessed.  In a number of cases, it can eliminate the need for further investigation when no significant endometrial pathology can be demonstrated. This is particularly important in cases of bleeding around the time of menopause where a hormonal disturbance is the most common cause and does not benefit from surgery. Assessment of the uterine cavity is also helpful when the cause of infertility is suspected to be an intrauterine abnormality preventing embryo implantation.
