Should I try another IVF cycle straight away?

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.

Does a failed IVF cycle mean something was missed?

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.

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

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.

What should I bring to my fertility appointment?

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.

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

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.

How quickly can I start an IVF cycle again?

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.

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

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.

Do you charge to move eggs or embryos?

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.

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

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.

Can I see the IVF clinic before starting treatment?

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.

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

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.

Some People Choose a Career. Dr Vicki Chose a Purpose: Helping Create Families.

There are few moments in life more meaningful than helping someone become a parent. For Dr Vicki Nott, that privilege has never simply been a profession—it has been the purpose that has shaped her entire career.

How Dr Vicki got started

For more than 30 years, Dr Vicki has dedicated her life to helping individuals and couples navigate one of life’s most emotional journeys. She has delivered more than 10,000 babies, guided thousands of patients through fertility treatment and remained committed to one belief that has never changed: every patient deserves time, understanding and a treatment plan that is tailored to their individual circumstances.

As demand for appointments continues to grow, Dr Vicki has opened additional consulting sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays, creating more opportunities for patients to begin their fertility journey, seek a second opinion or explore options such as IVF and egg freezing with one of Melbourne’s most experienced fertility specialists.

The additional consulting sessions reflect something we are seeing more often at No.1 Fertility. Patients are looking for experienced specialists who combine clinical excellence with genuine continuity of care. They want a doctor who will take the time to understand their story, explain their options clearly and remain involved throughout every stage of treatment.

That philosophy has always been at the heart of Dr Vicki’s approach.

Consultations

Every consultation begins with listening. Every treatment plan is carefully considered. Every recommendation is based on the individual sitting in front of her rather than a standard pathway. Fertility treatment is never just about achieving a pregnancy; it is about helping patients make informed decisions with confidence and knowing they have an experienced specialist beside them throughout the journey.

Dr Vicki’s expertise spans every aspect of modern fertility care, including IVF, egg freezing, fertility preservation, recurrent miscarriage, endometriosis, PCOS, donor conception and second opinions following unsuccessful treatment. Her commitment to excellence has been recognised throughout her career, including being awarded the prestigious RANZCOG Gold Medal as the highest-performing specialist candidate and completing her Master of Reproductive Medicine with Excellence.

While her qualifications and experience are exceptional, patients often speak about something much simpler. They value her calm manner, her honesty and the confidence they gain from having a clear plan. In fertility care, those qualities can be just as important as clinical expertise.

At No.1 Fertility, we believe choosing your fertility specialist is one of the most important decisions you will make. That’s why we encourage patients to get to know their doctor before they even attend their first appointment.

If you haven’t already, we invite you to watch Dr Vicki’s Meet Your Doctor video and learn more about the philosophy that has guided her career for more than three decades.

Whether you’re taking your first steps towards parenthood, considering egg freezing or looking for a fresh perspective after previous treatment, Dr Vicki’s expanded Wednesday and Thursday consulting clinics provide even more opportunities to access personalised, doctor-led fertility care.

Dr Vicki’s new Wednesday and Thursday consulting sessions are now available.
