Induction of labour is when we help your body begin labour.

The process can vary between individuals but typically includes 3 fundamental steps.

Often, the first step is cervical priming — helping the cervix soften, shorten and open, and is often done overnight in hospital. This can be done with a small balloon catheter placed through the cervix, which usually stays in place for around 12 hours. Alternatively, prostaglandin medication (hormone gel) may be inserted vaginally, with usually one or two doses typically given at 6-hour intervals. The method used is influenced by a number of factors like how well engaged the baby’s head is and how dilated the cervix already is.

Once the cervix is ready, the next step is an artificial rupture of membranes (ARM). This is known as breaking your waters, and involves an internal examination to feel the membranes and make a small opening in them to release the amniotic fluid. This is performed in the birth suite.

The third step is an oxytocin infusion. Oxytocin is a hormone given through an intravenous (IV) drip to help promote regular uterine contractions and support the progress of labour.

Like pregnancy and birth, induction is not the same for everyone. Some women will not need cervical priming. Some will labour after their waters are broken and won’t need an oxytocin infusion. Others may need all three steps.

Understanding the process can help you feel more prepared and supported. Each plan is tailored, with careful monitoring and a focus on safe, personalised care.

Ovulation is often more variable than people realise.

A Day 12 fertility ultrasound scan provides real-time insight into follicle development, ovulation, and the uterine lining.

It also allows assessment of the reproductive organs and can detect conditions such as polyps, fibroids, and ovarian cysts.

For many women, this simple investigation brings clarity and direction. Over time, these small insights can make a meaningful difference.

A hysterectomy doesn’t mean menopause.

This is one of the most common conversations I have with women.

A total hysterectomy removes the uterus and cervix. For many women who have completed their families, it can be a definitive treatment for heavy or problematic periods.

Importantly, a total hysterectomy does not automatically mean the ovaries are removed. This is especially important for women who have not yet gone through menopause and who have healthy ovaries.

The ovaries continue to produce hormones that help maintain bone strength, support cardiovascular health, protect brain and nerve function, and contribute to overall long-term wellbeing.

If the ovaries are conserved at the time of hysterectomy, hormone production continues and you will not go into menopause straight away.

The decision about whether to remove the ovaries is individual and depends on your age, symptoms, cancer risk, family history and personal preferences.

The goal is always to support both your immediate recovery and your long-term health.

Apps help — but they’re not everything 📱

Cycle-tracking apps are a useful starting point when trying to conceive.
However, they rely on predictions and population averages, rather than confirming what is happening in your specific cycle.

Optimising conception often involves using apps as one part of a broader assessment, which may include:

UNDERSTAND
Identify the fertile window, recognising that conception is most likely in the days leading up to ovulation.

MONITOR
Assess cervical mucus patterns, which often reflect rising oestrogen and increasing fertility prior to ovulation.

TEST
Use appropriately timed blood tests, such as progesterone, to confirm that ovulation has occurred.

TRACK
Perform ultrasound follicle tracking to directly observe follicular development.

TRIGGER
In selected cases, use medication to induce or precisely time ovulation.

TIME
Integrate this information to optimise the timing of in*******se within the fertile window.

If pregnancy is not occurring, it does not mean the app is inaccurate — it can mean further cycle-specific information is needed. It’s amazing what we can learn about your cycle with this approach.

Early pregnancy can be a time of excitement — but also questions, uncertainty, and “is this normal?” moments.

For women who’ve been trying to conceive, have irregular cycles, or have experienced pregnancy loss, the first few weeks matter deeply.

That’s why I combine fertility care with early pregnancy support through:
• point-of-care ultrasound scans
• b-HCG trend interpretation
• progesterone support when appropriate
• medical treatment to support pregnancy
• close monitoring in the first trimester when needed

Sometimes the right care at the right time is all that’s needed to help a pregnancy progress smoothly - and when needed, I work closely with IVF specialists to ensure you receive the right fertility care at the right time — personalised, coordinated and centred on your goals.

Your story matters, and personalised care can make all the difference.

It’s one of the first questions most women ask after seeing those two pink lines:
“When should I have my first ultrasound?”
⠀
While signs of an early pregnancy can sometimes be seen from around 4½–5 weeks, the clearest and most reassuring time for an early pregnancy scan is usually 6–7 weeks.
⠀
By then, we can often see a heartbeat and confirm that the pregnancy is developing within the uterus.
⠀
If you’ve had IVF, uncertain dates, pain or bleeding, or a history of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, we may bring your scan forward or repeat your ultrasounds more frequently. Otherwise, waiting that little bit longer gives the best clarity.

✨ Every pregnancy is different — I’ll guide you on the right timing for you.

Should my b-hCG double every 48 hours?

In early pregnancy, b-hCG levels usually rise quickly — often doubling every two days up to around six weeks.

As pregnancy progresses, the rise naturally slows.

Between six and eight weeks, b-hCG may take three to four days to double.

By eight to ten weeks, it’s normal for levels to plateau or rise only slightly — sometimes even declining a little after ten weeks.

This doesn’t mean something is wrong — it’s simply your placenta taking over the hormonal work of sustaining early pregnancy.

📈 I look at both the b-hCG trend and your ultrasound findings to build the full picture of how your pregnancy is progressing.
