Fertility First was established in 1997 to offer personalised fertility health care and treatment. We provide professional advice, assessment and treatment, coupled with leading-edge assisted reproductive technologies.
A leading Sydney IVF clinic, Fertility First is located in Hurstville just 16 kilometres south of the CBD, and just a short walk from Hurstville train station, across the road from Hurstville Private Hospital.
Why is Fertility First different?
Fertility First is the only Australian fertility clinic that routinely scans for sperm DNA damage in male patients, and explores all treatment options for patients and tries to minimise costs where possible without compromising the chance of conception or quality of care. The results are clear. It’s why our Sydney fertility clinic is backed by science, commitment, and care.
Why Fertility First?
At Fertility First, we take a different approach. We put you first. We know that no one person is the same, so through industry-leading science, and an extraordinary level of commitment and care, we individualise each and every treatment plan to give you the best chance of conceiving. Here at our Sydney fertility clinic, we take a holistic approach. From improving fertility naturally, we always look at the entire picture, and treat everyone who comes into our clinic. Each one of our fertility specialists is extremely dedicated to our clients. Throughout the process, you will have the same point of contact and have availability after hours on weekdays and during weekends. We are aware that ovaries know nothing about weekends and public holidays, so whatever is the right day for your fertility treatment will be the day that it is done. Unlike other Sydney fertility clinics, all patients will have the same fertility specialist throughout the journey; to support at all times, book their appointments, plan treatment cycles, and organise egg collection and transfer if IVF is necessary.
What is infertility?
The World Health Organization definition of infertility is the absence of a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular, unprotected intercourse. However, as 75% of couple conceive in the first 6 months, it is now recommended, particularly for couples aged 30 and above to consider having initial investigations after 6 months of regular unprotected intercourse.
Is infertility a common problem?
Fertility issues affect about 1 in 6 Australian couples of reproductive age. A national survey found that this has been the same for the last 3 generations of Australians.
Is infertility a woman's problem?
Causes of infertility can involve male, female or a combination of factors. Approximately a third of infertility cases are as a result of female factors and a third are as a result of male factors or a combination of both male and female factors. Occasionally no obvious cause is obvious from initial testing (unexplained infertility) but there are treatments and options, no matter what the cause of the fertility issue is.
