Fertility clinic Brisbane FAQs: common questions

1. What services does a fertility clinic offer?

At Eve Health, we support people who want to start or grow their family. Our services include fertility assessments, thorough investigations, ovulation induction, IUI, IVF, egg and sperm freezing, donor programs, miscarriage support, and personalised advice about reproductive health.

2. Do I need a referral to see a fertility specialist in Brisbane?

Yes, in most cases, you will need a referral from your GP to see a fertility specialist in Brisbane and receive a Medicare rebate. Your GP can also send us any relevant test results or background information, which helps us support you from your very first visit.

3. When should I see a fertility specialist?

Many people reach out to us after 12 months of trying to conceive (or 6 months if over 35), but you are welcome to book sooner, especially if you have health concerns, irregular cycles, or simply want expert advice about your options.

4. What happens at my first appointment?

Your first visit is a chance for us to get to know you and your story. We will talk through your health history, and any questions or worries you have.During your first appointment, we may recommend some simple tests, such as blood work or an ultrasound, to help us understand your fertility and plan the next steps together.

5. What are common fertility tests?

We usually start with blood tests to check your hormone levels, such as AMH (which gives us an idea of your egg reserve), FSH, LH, oestrogen, and thyroid function. Most people will also have a pelvic ultrasound, which helps us look at your uterus and ovaries, count follicles, and check for any conditions like cysts or fibroids that could affect fertility. 

For male partners, we often organise a semen analysis to look at sperm count, movement, and shape. These tests help us build a clearer picture of your fertility and plan the next steps together.

6. Is IVF the only treatment option?

No, IVF is only one of the treatments available at Eve Health. Many people start with other options, such as ovulation induction (using medication to help you release an egg), cycle tracking to find your most fertile days, or intrauterine insemination (IUI), where prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus to improve the chances of conception. 

We may also suggest lifestyle changes or simple medications to address hormonal imbalances or other issues. Our team will talk you through all your options, explain which might suit your situation, and support you to make choices that feel right for you.

7. How much does fertility treatment cost?

Costs vary, depending on the care you need. We will provide you with a written outline of any fees, explain possible Medicare rebates, and help you understand all your options. Our team makes sure you have a clear summary before starting any treatment. Please contact us directly for a personalised estimate.

8. Can I bring my partner or a support person to a fertility consultation?

Yes, we even encourage you to bring a partner, friend, or family member for support. Many people find it helpful to have someone else to listen, ask questions, or take notes during visits.

9. What support is available for the emotional side of fertility treatment?

At Eve Health, we understand that fertility care affects your emotional and mental wellbeing as well as your physical health. Our team can connect you with counselling, support groups, and a network of trusted allied health professionals, including psychologists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, osteopaths, and others. 

We work together to care for your mind, body, and overall wellbeing, whether you need help with stress, nutrition, pain, or support as you move through fertility treatment, pregnancy, or parenting. You can find more details about our holistic support and allied health partners on our Allied Health page. We are always here to listen and help you find the support you need at any stage.

11. How can I keep track of my fertility treatment and appointments?

Fertility treatment can involve many steps to remember, from medications and blood tests to scan dates and instructions from your specialist. Relying on paper notes or memory alone is often stressful and things can get missed. 

By using a tool like CHARLI, you have all your reminders, schedules, and appointment details in one place on your phone. This gives you a clear view of your whole plan and helps you feel organised and prepared for each stage. Many people find that tracking their treatment also helps them notice patterns, prepare questions for their care team, and feel more in control during the process.

You are always welcome to ask our team any questions in person or over the phone. For more information, our Eve Health website has fact sheets, detailed guides, and regular blogs on fertility, pregnancy, women’s health, and emotional wellbeing.
