Question 1

Should I try another IVF cycle straight away?

Accepted Answer

In some cases, yes. If your previous cycle shows that things were on track, repeating treatment may be appropriate. In other cases, taking time to review and refine the approach first can improve your chances. The right next step should always be based on your response, not a routine.

Question 2

Does a failed IVF cycle mean something was missed?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. IVF is complex and even when everything is done well, a cycle may not result in pregnancy. The focus should be on understanding what the cycle shows and how that should guide your next step.

Question 3

Do I need another opinion or a review of my fertility treatment?

Accepted Answer

Many patients find it helpful to have their treatment reviewed from a fresh clinical perspective, particularly if they do not feel they have clear answers or a defined plan. No.1 Fertility can provide a detailed review of your history and results to help clarify the most appropriate next steps.

Question 4

What should I bring to my fertility appointment?

Accepted Answer

Any previous test results, cycle summaries and reports are helpful. Your fertility specialist will review these with you and explain what they mean in the context of your situation.

Question 5

Can anything actually be done differently in a repeat IVF cycle?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes, but it depends on what your previous cycle shows. Sometimes the changes are small and targeted; other times the approach may need to shift. The key is that any decision is based on your individual response.

Question 6

How quickly can I start an IVF cycle again?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your situation and what needs to be reviewed or completed first. Where appropriate, No.1 Fertility can coordinate the necessary steps efficiently so you are ready to move forward without unnecessary delay.

Question 7

Can No.1 Fertility help me move things forward more quickly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For patients who are ready to proceed, we can fast-track your pathway. Your fertility specialist will prioritise your next steps and coordinate everything so you can move forward efficiently.

Question 8

Do you charge to move eggs or embryos?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not charge to move your eggs or embryos. Access to your own embryos should never be a barrier to your care or your ability to make informed decisions.

Question 9

Why are No.1 Fertility's costs often lower than other IVF clinics?

Accepted Answer

Our model is different. We are a doctor-led clinic, meaning decisions are made by fertility specialists based on clinical need. This allows us to reduce unnecessary steps and create a more efficient treatment pathway without compromising care.

Question 10

Can I see the IVF clinic before starting treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we encourage it. We offer clinic tours so you can understand exactly how your care is delivered. Tours are available across our locations, including Sydney, with slight variations depending on the clinic setup.

Question 11

What will I see on a No.1 Fertility clinic tour?

Accepted Answer

You will be guided through key parts of the clinical and laboratory environment, which may include cryo storage for eggs, sperm and embryos, monitoring and safety systems, backup infrastructure, and laboratory and procedure areas where applicable to that location. Each tour is tailored to the specific clinic.
