Virtual consultation

The first step in your journey is to have a virtual consultation with one of our expert clinicians via video

Before you begin any treatment with us we’ll arrange a virtual consultation with one of multilingual team via video and we will talk through your medical history and advise you on the best treatment options for you.

What to expect? How much does it cost? Patient reviews

Your first step to starting treatment

At this consultation, we’ll advise you on any blood tests and scans needed to assess your fertility. These can be arranged with us or at a fertility clinic in your home country.

Blood tests will provide information on your hormone levels, and the scan will reveal your egg reserves. We also request screening for conditions such as HIV, chlamydia and hepatitis.

For male patients, we advise having a semen analysis which looks at factors such as sperm count, motility and shape of sperm. This can be arranged with us or at a fertility clinic in your home country.

If you have had treatment elsewhere or know of existing fertility issues that affect you, it may be helpful to provide us with a copy of your medical records and any other results including blood tests or sperm analysis in advance.

Next step

Scan and test

Before we do anything, we need to know your AMH or AFC level in order to assess your ovarian egg reserve and therefore your fertility.

If you need help finding medication you can use our European Pharmacy partner, you will be able to order the majority of medication you need directly to your door! The process is simple and easy reducing the time and hassle for you during your journey

If you are undergoing treatment in a country where single or same sex IVF isn’t permitted, we can help to advise you on how to arrange scans, tests and medication at suitable local clinics.

Medical review

As a first step, you will talk with one of our specialists to review your fertility and discuss the best course of treatment. This consultation can take place over video/phone with one of our multilingual medical team who will assess any results, tests or scans previously undertaken.

If you are a single woman or same-sex couple residing in a country where fertility treatment in your circumstances is not permitted, we can help advise you on how to arrange scans/tests locally.

We have a trusted pharmacy partner that can deliver most treatment medication to you at home.

Which consultation should I choose?

You need to choose your consultation type based on which treatment you are planning to have at Vitanova, either IUI or IVF. When deciding which treatment is right for you, it is important you consider all of the factors.

IUI is suitable for women with open fallopian tubes and a good ovarian reserve.

Unblocked fallopian tubes mean the passage from your ovary to your uterus is clear, so the egg can make a clear journey to the uterus when ovulating. This can be checked using a HyCoSy test, which checks if the fallopian tubes are open. If you have undergone several IUI attempts and have not been pregnant, we will recommend you do this test

A good ovarian reserve is harder to gauge as each woman is different, but there is a correlation between age and decreasing ovarian reserve. We keep this in mind when recommending the right treatment for you.

IVF is suitable for all women but particularly those who:

One or both fallopian tubes are closed
Have been sterilised
Have had pregnancies outside the uterus
Have already undergone several IUI attempts without these resulting in pregnancy
Have a low AMH, but we still consider that there is a potential for stimulation
Partner's sperm is of low quality
Women 37 and older

If you are unsure which consultation type to book, we recommend you book an IVF consultation, as the doctor will be able to explain both treatment processes to you during your consultation. Any questions please contact us or give us a call.
