Thanks to modern medicine, we have a range of fertility treatments available to help couples on their way to becoming proud parents. Although in vitro fertilisation (IVF) is the most well-known treatment, there are a number of other options that may be more suitable for your situation.
Dr Kate is a fertility specialist in Newcastle, offering the full range of assisted reproductive technologies for patients across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, and Port Macquarie. She is committed to providing research-based fertility care and honest, professional advice with empathy and compassion to all her patients.
Once you and your partner have had your fertility assessments with Dr Kate, she can then make her recommendations on what approach will give you the best chance of a healthy pregnancy.
In vitro fertilisation involves combining an egg with a sperm in a laboratory environment.
Certain male and female infertility problems can be corrected with surgery.
Hormonal imbalances from endocrine disorders can often underlie infertility.
For some couples, using a donor egg or sperm, or a surrogate volunteer, is the best way to have children.
Preimplantation genetic testing enables couples to choose an embryo with the highest chance of developing into a healthy baby.
Whether you’re considering fertility treatment for the first time or you’ve experienced unsuccessful IVF cycles and are looking for a second opinion, Dr Kate can help. In addition to completing a Master of Reproductive Medicine and being awarded a Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, she is also working towards becoming a Certified Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialist, the highest level of training for a fertility doctor.
