Am I infertile? Assessing fertility
For women fertility tests include:
- Blood tests and ultrasounds to identify any specific issues and check ovulation is occuring
- An egg count test – a blood test that measures the level of AMH (anti-Mullerian Hormone) and indicates your ovarian reserve
- Special ultrasounds to check if your tubes are open
- Genetic testing to identify any genetic disorders impacting implantation
For men, a semen analysis is conducted to measure:
- The number of sperm
- Their ability to move (motility)
- Their size and shape (morphology)
- The volume and consistency of the sperm

I come from a family of doctors and it has always been my intuitive first choice to become an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. I basically grew up in it, with my father being one of the co-founders of a series of IVF clinics in India. Care for mothers and the babies they are expecting has always been my first nature and I am grateful for being able to serve my patients in their journey.
So if you are in that phase where you are not sure how to choose a private obstetrician in Sydney, let’s have a chat so we can plan your antenatal care together.
