When to Refer

As a general rule, you should refer a patient to FSF if they are:

aged under 35 and have not fallen pregnant after a year of trying
if they are over 35 and have had no success after six months
unknown infertility

Age has the biggest effect on fertility, but several other factors for both partners have to be considered. These include:

Female

irregular menstrual cycles
medical conditions (such as PCOS) or other health issues
being chronically under or over weight
lifestyle influences (such as smoking and alcohol intake
genetic make-up

Male

low sperm count, mobility or morphology
presence of antibodies
ejaculatory problems or azoospermia (no sperm present)
alternative to male sterilisation reversal

Who is Eligible

In order to begin treatment at First Step Fertility, patients must meet the following criteria:

Have a Medicare card
Fall within weight range that meets our guidelines
There is no financial means test – so patients don’t have to worry about being financially ineligible for IVF

Initial Consultation

The initial consultation is bulk-billed.

Patients are encouraged to bring their partner to the initial consultation.
