Dr. Dropin offers:
If you are a couple and want to be investigated for involuntary childlessness, it is appropriate if you come together to an appointment with the gynecologist by booking 2 consecutive appointments on the same day. This also applies if same-sex couples want children together. Both must be assessed before you can apply further for IVF if applicable.
Couples who have been trying to conceive for over a year without success, or women over 35 who have been trying for over six months, should consider a fertility check.
Previous medical conditions or symptoms of hormonal imbalances, can also be reasons to seek help earlier.

Based on the findings and wishes of the person/s seeking help, the doctor will be able to refer you to IVF after the necessary investigation has been carried out. The gynecologist is obliged to assess whether all criteria for fertility treatment are met, including an examination of both parties.
The gynecologist at Dr. Dropin will help fill in the standard referral form for IVF and send with all the necessary examinations that have been carried out. A referral to IVF requires a police certificate.
