SERVICES // Advanced Embryo Culture Media
The laboratory uses the latest advanced culture media containing anti-oxidants. Embryo glue is standard for allfresh embryo transfers. An alternative culture system using the growth factor Gm-CSF is available for patients with poor embryo progression. My research 30 years ago was into the effect of Growth Factors so I have a particular interest in this exciting development.

Causes of Infertility: Let’s talk Disturbed Sleep
You should aim to go to bed at a regular time every night. Female shift workers, with irregular sleep patterns,have been shown to have reduced fertility and an increased rate of miscarriage.

Infertility Investigations: S***m Testing
There are three assessments that are generally performed on a semen sample. The first assessment is a semen analysis that tests the concentration, motility and morphology of the s***m.

A second assessment is an anti-s***m antibody test that looks for the presence of antibodies bound to the s***m that affects their function. In particular, they inhibit s***m from binding to an egg.

Finally, a s***m DNA fragmentation test assesses oxidation damage to the s***m and is thought of as a measure of s***m quality. High rates of DNA fragmentation are associated with poor embryo development, increased rates of miscarriage and possibly increased rates of some abnormalities in babies born.

Infertility Investigations: Hysteroscopy and Laparoscopy
Your specialist will recommend either a hysteroscopy alone or a combination of both a hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, if they suspect that you may have a structural problem with the pelvis that surgery could improve.

This includes surgery for polyps, fibroids and endometriosis. Surgery is often initially for diagnosis, but treatment can usually be completed during the same procedure.

Infertility Investigations: Testing fallopian tube patency and confirming a normal uterine cavity
Structural defects of the uterus and blockages in the fallopian tubes can be confirmed using an ultrasound called a HyCoSy (Hystero Contrast Sonography). Alternatively, the pelvis can be more accurately assessed surgically with a hysteroscopy and/or laparoscopy.
