If you have had previous tests in another hospital, we would like to get the results, so as to avoid repeating the investigations when possible. It would be helpful to bring your previous reports with you.
We generally repeat the semen analysis in our laboratory and may need to repeat certain investigations if required. Once these tests are complete you will be given a follow-up appointment, to discuss the results of the investigations and the conclusions which have been reached. At this time we can discuss suitable treatment options with you, and should also be able to give you a reasonable idea of your chance of achieving a successful pregnancy. If further tests are necessary you will be told exactly what needs to be done and why. |

Infertility is a stressful experience for many couples. It is also a trying time for those couples requiring donor eggs or sperm. It is quite common to feel alone with your emotions and there are times when a couple or an individual may need to talk to someone. It is at these times that people can turn to the IVF Pune unit for support. To achieve this and help you out with guidance and support we have an independent, qualified counselor who you can see for as few or as many sessions as you require. To make an appointment you can call the clinic and fix an appointment with the infertility counselor. |

If you are interested in attending a patient support group we will be pleased to hear from you. As well as being a great way of talking to people who understand what you are going through, it offers an informed and relaxed forum for IVF Pune staff to get together to discuss general topics about infertility. |
