Fertility Counselling & Hormonal Assessments – The First Step Toward Parenthood
Fertility counselling and hormonal assessments form the foundation of any effective fertility treatment plan. At Indira IVF Centre, West Patel Nagar, Dr. Nishtha Handa provides personalised fertility counselling to help couples understand their reproductive health, clear misconceptions, and plan the right course of action. This includes a detailed evaluation of both partners through hormonal tests such as AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone), FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, and Estradiol, along with semen analysis for male partners. These tests reveal key insights into ovarian reserve, ovulation, thyroid function, and overall reproductive balance. Counselling sessions with Dr. Handa are compassionate, informative, and completely judgment-free-helping patients make confident decisions about options like timed intercourse, IUI, IVF, or fertility preservation. Early assessment and expert guidance can make a significant difference in treatment success and reduce emotional stress during the journey.
Fertility counselling is a guided consultation where Dr. Nishtha Handa explains your fertility health, treatment options, emotional challenges, and helps you make informed choices.
2. Why are hormonal tests important in infertility?
Hormonal tests help assess egg reserve, ovulation, thyroid function, and cycle regularity, all of which affect a woman’s ability to conceive.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) reflects ovarian reserve, helping predict how many eggs a woman may have left and how she may respond to fertility treatments.
Yes. Semen analysis is an important part of fertility evaluation, as male factor infertility contributes to nearly 40–50% of infertility cases.
5. When should a couple consider fertility assessment?
If you’ve been trying to conceive for over 12 months (or 6 months if over 35) without success, it’s time to get a complete fertility check-up.
