At TFP Fertility, we understand that everyone’s path to parenthood is unique, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re considering fertility preservation, egg freezing, donor treatments, or natural cycles, there are several key stages that everyone goes through when seeking treatment.
1. Referrals
You can receive a referral from your GP or a hospital doctor, or you can choose to self-refer. It’s easy to get started—learn more about how this works.
2. Pre-treatment
Before diving into your treatment plan, we need to gather some important information about your health. This typically includes various tests, such as blood work, a vaginal ultrasound to evaluate your ovaries, and a semen analysis if applicable. Check out our fertility assessment packages for more details.
3. Initial Consultation
During your first meeting with a TFP fertility specialist, you’ll discuss your medical history and review your test results. Your doctor will then recommend a tailored treatment program based on your circumstances.
4. Counseling
Fertility treatments can be emotionally taxing, so we offer counseling at any stage of your journey. It’s a great way to get some extra support. If you’re using donor eggs or sperm, you’ll be encouraged to meet with a counselor to discuss the implications of this decision. For more insights, explore our fertility counseling options.
5. Treatment Planning Appointment
This is where things get real! A specialist nurse will walk you through your treatment plan, explaining the medications you’ll be using and how to administer them. You’ll have the chance to ask any lingering questions, and you’ll officially consent to the treatment. This part is crucial to ensure legal recognition of parenthood post-treatment. Don’t forget, everyone involved should attend this appointment, which usually lasts about an hour. We even have an online consent platform for convenience. If you’re funding your own treatment, this is when you’ll settle the payment.
6. Treatment
Now that you’re all set, you can kick off your treatment plan as outlined by your consultant.
If you’re eager to get started, our patient support team is ready to help you explore your options.
