The first steps are your fertility health checks which can be done here at Ipswich IVF:

• For men: diagnostic semen analysis (opens in a new tab) or post-vasectomy semen analysis (opens in a new tab) and a review consultation.

Additional tests performed here: DNA fragmentation test. To find out more about how we assess male fertility visit our Andrology Service section (opens in a new tab).

• For women: ovarian reserve blood test, ovarian ultrasound scan and review consultation.

With the results from the fertility checks, we will be able to offer you the most suitable and personalised option from our available fertility treatments (opens in a new tab). Depending on the treatment we offer you, it could be performed here in Ipswich fully or partially:

• Ovulation induction (OI) this could be done fully at Ipswich IVF.
• IUI the previous ovarian stimulation follow up and all consultations are provided in Ipswich IVF. You would only need to travel to Cambridge for the insemination procedure.
