Excited to be presenting on Working Women and Their Fertility Journery.

Let’s all learn about our bodies, how they work, biology and reproductive aging!
First step to empowerment is knowledge.

Do you know how your body works? It is amazing that so many young women don’t understand their body and what is happening hormonally. Hormones are fascinating and is a huge part of why I became a fertility specialist.

So here we go….

The main hormones regulating the menstrual cycle are follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). Both are secreted from the pituitary gland, and they will stimulate the ovaries. FSH will stimulate the follicular development in the ovaries, which house the eggs and this in turn will release oestrogen which will build the uterine lining… either preparing for the shedding which causes the monthly
bleed or accepting an embryo for a baby!

An LH surge is what triggers the dominant follicle (containing the egg) for ovulation. It is after ovulation
that progesterone is then produced. It comes from the remaining corpus luteum (essentially the remnant of the follicle that ovulated the egg). and always remember the P… is for Pregnancy…. Progesterone supports a pregnancy and prepares the uterus for this.

A little about me...finally.

I know a few of you have asked to get to know me better... so here goes!

It's taken me a while to post this because, well... we have been busy making lots of babies for everyone and it has kept me pretty occupied.

I absolutely love what I do- helping people to grow their families is something I feel really lucky to be a part of. Every story is different, and I've met so many wonderful people along the way.

I feel blessed to live and work on the Northern Beaches- it doesn't get much better.
Beautiful place, beautiful people and a job I truly enjoy.

Big thanks to all the incredible people who have trusted me to the part of their journey.

Karyotype or Carrier Screening?

Karyotype, looks at your DNA 🧬. We all made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes; females will have a 46 XX karyotype whilst males will have a 46 XY karyotype. This test is commonly ordered when seeing a fertility specialist as on rare occasions, there can be small changes in how your DNA is arranged that do not necessarily impact your health, but might be impacting the chance of conception or increasing the rate of miscarriage.

Reproductive Carrier Screening on the other hand, is a test that looks at conditions that you ‘carry’ but do not necessarily have. There are two major types of inheritance that can lead to a healthy couple having a child with a serious genetic condition. These are referred to as autosomal recessive and X-linked recessive inheritance. Generally, we will all carry some sort of condition, this becomes relevant if you and your partner (or s***m donor) carry the same condition. If you both carry the gene then there is a 25% chance that a conceived child would have the affected condition. In assisted reproduction, if this is the case we do have the technology to be able to select embryos that are unaffected, this is referred to as PGD or pre-implantation genetic diagnosis.
You can elect to test for a small number of conditions or an extended list of conditions, test one or both of the intended genetic parents.

Ovulation Tracking Tool!

Hey guys,
Check out my new ovulation tracking tool on my website! Find the link in my bio 🔍

Ovulation Tracking is an important first step in trying to spontaneously conceive. You can track yourself with home apps, use of urinary LH tests or even monitoring your symptoms such as increasing breast tenderness or changes to your va**nal discharge.

I love this app, because it is quick and easy to use and will give you a few months prediction in one go. Give it a try!

So excited to be introducing my baby birth cards! For all the little people born in 2025, you can expect some mail 🤍

Should you freeze eggs or embryos?

This is a very personal choice and certainly not a question where ‘one size fits all’. The decision to freeze either eggs or embryos is largely dictated by your own personal circumstances.

The process of either freezing eggs or freezing embryos is very similar. A woman will undergo an IVF stimulation cycle. This is where she will inject herself with a medication to promote growth of as many follicles as possible; at the same time she will utilise another type of injection that prevents ovulation. As the follicles grow we will undertake regular blood tests and ultrasounds to determine the exact size and number of growing follicles. Once there is an optimal number and size, a third injection is introduced to ‘trigger’ the cycle and the eggs are collected via a day procedure with a small needle on an ultrasound probe through the va**na.

If you are freezing eggs, this is where the process stops. The embryologist will have a look under the microscope and determine which eggs are mature versus not mature and all the mature eggs will be frozen at that point. If you go on to freeze embryos, it is at this point that we would obtain a s***m sample and combine s***m and egg together in the laboratory. Fertilization rates are checked at 18hrs or so after and then we grow the embryos for 5 days before freezing them. At this stage we refer to the embryo as a ‘blastocyst’.

There are different benefits to freezing eggs or embryos; speak to your doctor today about which one would be right for you.

What to expect during your first consultation.

Let’s debug all the misinformation and eliminate unnecessary confusion.

During your consultation, we’re committed to providing clear, evidence based information, so you can make
informed, confident decisions about your reproductive health.

05/06/2025

While you can technically freeze your eggs at any age, guidelines from reproductive endocrinology and infertility sub- specialists recommend considering the procedure before the age of 35. This is because it’s about maximising your chances for success- both in terms of egg quantity and quality, which naturally decline as you get older.

But lets be clear; being over 35 doesn’t mean you have missed the boat. These are general guidelines desinged to inform and help you make the best decision for your reporductive future. Your doctor can offer personalised advice tailored to your individual circumstances.

At the end of the day, the best time to freeze your eggs is when you feel it’s the right time for you.

Endometriosis is a complex and confusing disease that roughly 1 in 10 women of reproductive age will suffer from.

It presents in many different ways, but the two of the most common presentations are pelvic pain with your periods and infertility.

Many women will not find out that they have endometriosis until it comes time to conceive. Endometriosis can cause infertility in many ways and there is still a lot we don’t know about the condition. Some of the ways we think that it can impact fertility includes impacting egg quality, impacting implantation of the embryo as well as mechanical distortion of the egg and s***m meeting in the reproductive tract.

Management of endometriosis is complex… if you think endometriosis is impacting your fertility it is important that you seek a consultation from a qualified specialist.
