You should plan to spend about an hour and a half at Bridge for this appointment. During this time your Infertility Specialist will review the results of the initial tests completed, advise what further tests, if any, or procedures need to be done and explain your treatment options. Again, there is the possibility that we will take a blood sample and/or perform an ultrasound scan. If information gained as a result of your Initial Consultation indicates a requirement for further tests and investigations, we will take, with your agreement, all the necessary steps.

Diagnostic Outcome and Treatment Planning Review

You should plan to be at Bridge for about two hours during which time your Infertility Specialist will agree a treatment plan with you and prescribe the medication needed. You will also see a member of our egg donation team for a general briefing on the programme you have chosen and to check that all the consents necessary are done. If a semen sample from your partner is going to be required further into the treatment cycle, we offer a special freezing and storage service at this point as ‘insurance’ and you may wish to take up this option.

Please note that the full consultation fee is payable at the time of booking – see notes on the back page.
