What is Infertility?
Infertility is usually defined as not becoming pregnant after a year of trying, but some couples know or suspect they are infertile well before a year is up. For instance, the woman might have irregular periods or not ovulate at all.
For more information on infertility please visit Understanding Your Fertility.
When Should I do Something? The right time to seek help is when you are concerned about your fertility. Often simple tests to check ovulation and sperm quality will give you some clarity on next steps. General guidelines are that you should refer to a fertility specialist if you have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success and the woman is under 35, or refer earlier if the woman is 35 or older.
For more information on this please visit our Biological Clock.
Other Languages: Fertility Information

We also offer obstetrics, endocrinology, vasectomy reversal, and gynaecology.

Routine Fertility Tests
Fertility Associates requires all patients, as part of the fertility assessment, to have routine fertility tests. These can be carried out by the GP and more information is available here. Some of the routine fertility tests may already be on file with the GP, but the date of the test is important, as some become 'time expired'.
In some parts of New Zealand, the routine fertility tests are always paid for by the Government, but in other parts, such as Wellington, some tests ordered by specialists are not, and incur a fee.
A recent pelvic ultrasound is not required as our specialists normally undertake this at the initial consultation, and at no additional charge.

Donor Eggs Donor eggs can be used for women with premature menopause, women who have not become pregnant after many IVF cycles and women who no longer have viable eggs of their own because of their age. Donor Sperm Traditionally donor sperm is used when a man has few sperm or poor quality sperm. Rarely it is used if the man's sperm carries a very high risk that any child might have a serious congenital abnormality. It is also an option for single women or women in a same-sex relationship. Donor Embryos Some people, having undergone successful IVF treatment and completed their families, may still have frozen embryos. They will need to make a decision about what to do with their remaining embryos. One option is to donate them to people for whom this may be the only option of experiencing parenthood.
