We make it our mission to stay on top of the latest in fertility research, and to contribute our own research to the field. This commitment to research allows us to bring you the latest evidence-based treatments.
We don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Instead, we take care to understand your unique needs, preferences and goals – and tailor your treatment accordingly.
We believe compassionate fertility care can help you weather the ups and downs of your fertility journey.
At Flow Fertility, we first offer a comprehensive fertility assessment with our Sydney fertility specialist, Dr Gavin Sacks, to identify the problems and associated fertility issues that need to be addressed. A range of specialist fertility treatments, including both IVF and non-IVF options, are available and the treatment approach recommended for you will be specifically tailored to your needs.
All patients must have a valid referral from their GP or other medical specialist before booking their appointment at Flow Fertility. These referrals are typically valid for either 12 months from a GP or three months from another specialist.
Please also organise a copy of your medical history, including the results of any fertility testing already performed, and records of any previous fertility treatments.
At your first visit, Dr Sacks will take the time to understand your fertility journey to date and conduct a thorough fertility assessment.
He will ask you about any problems you have experienced trying to conceive and listen to your story with compassion. He will also ask about any previous fertility testing or treatments you have had.
Next, he may request further investigations to help develop a clearer picture of your case. These may include special X-rays, ultrasounds, blood tests, ovulation testing and an assessment of ovarian reserve. Specific investigations related to recurrent implantation failure and recurrent miscarriage may also be recommended. In some cases, surgery such as a hysteroscopy or laparoscopy may also be recommended (to look inside your womb or pelvis).
Dr Sacks will also conduct a thorough male partner assessment (where relevant), which may include blood tests and other investigations such as semen analysis. Male fertility testing will identify if sperm abnormalities or medical conditions related to the male sex may be contributing to your fertility challenges, and whether these need to be addressed as part of your fertility treatment as a couple.
Once your fertility assessment is complete, Dr Sacks will consider your unique case, preferences and goals in order to recommend the most appropriate treatment options for you and your partner. There will be plenty of time to discuss these treatment options and address any queries you may have at your follow-up fertility consultation.
