    The initial consultation is a comprehensive fact-finding session, typically lasting up to an hour. We'll start by discussing your complete medical and reproductive history, including any previous investigations or treatments. We'll also review any existing test results you bring with you. The primary goal is to understand your unique circumstances and identify potential factors contributing to infertility. By the end of this appointment, Dr. Crawford will recommend a clear, personalised plan, which may involve further targeted investigations, or the discussion of specific treatment pathways like ovulation medications, insemination, IVF or surgery.
