fertility counselling in Noida
What is fertility counselling?
Fertility counselling gives you an opportunity to discuss your fertility concerns with a fertility doctor. First, the doctor listens to your fertility history and discusses possible reasons for delays in conceiving. Next, the doctor may recommend basic tests and explain your treatment options. Then, you can discuss the available choices and decide on the next step together. In addition, fertility counselling gives you a safe space to talk about the stress and emotional challenges that may come with trying to conceive.
Dr. Parul Agrawal has 23+ years of experience in obstetrics, gynaecology and reproductive medicine. At her fertility counselling in Noida , Sector 92, she personally consults patients and provides fertility counselling, helping you understand your fertility concerns and available treatment options.
Who should consider fertility counselling?
You can seek fertility counselling at any stage of your fertility journey. In particular, many couples find it helpful in the following situations:
- You have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success, or for 6 months if the woman is 35 or older.
- You have irregular, very painful or absent periods and want to understand how they may affect fertility.
- You have PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids or thyroid problems. These conditions can affect fertility, so counselling can help you understand your options and plan the next steps.
- You have experienced one or more pregnancy losses. The doctor can discuss possible causes and address your concerns.
- You have concerns about your partner’s sperm count or reproductive health. Counselling can help you understand the available evaluation and treatment options.
- You have already tried IUI or IVF without success. You can discuss what may have affected the outcome and what options you can consider next.
- You are unsure whether you need IVF. Counselling can help you understand your options before you make a treatment decision.
- You are planning when to have a baby or considering egg freezing. A consultation can help you understand your fertility options.
- You feel stressed, sad or overwhelmed by the challenges of trying to conceive and want professional support.
Most importantly, you do not need to make any treatment decision before your consultation. You can simply discuss your concerns, understand your options and decide on the next step with your doctor.
What happens in your first fertility consultation
Your first visit usually takes about 30–45 minutes. First, Dr. Parul listens to your concerns and asks about your periods, how long you have been trying to conceive, previous treatments, your health and your lifestyle. This helps her understand your situation and plan the right next steps.
- Dr. Parul listens to you first. She asks about your fertility history and encourages you to share your concerns openly. So, feel free to mention anything you think may be relevant.
- Both partners can attend. Since fertility can involve either partner, it is helpful to come together when possible. However, if your partner cannot attend the first consultation, you can still begin the evaluation on your own.
- Dr. Parul performs a basic check if needed. Depending on your situation, this may include a physical examination and an ultrasound scan.
- She recommends the necessary tests. Dr. Parul explains which tests you need, why you need them and when you should take them. Some tests may need to follow specific days of your menstrual cycle.
- You leave with a clear plan. Finally, Dr. Parul explains the next steps and answers your questions. Importantly, you do not have to start treatment on the same day.
What to bring: Bring your previous reports and scans, a list of your current medicines, your partner’s semen analysis if available, and any questions you want to discuss.
Tests your fertility doctor may recommend
Not everyone needs every test. After discussing your fertility history and concerns, Dr. Parul recommends only the tests that may help evaluate your situation. Common tests include:
| Test | What it checks | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Pelvic ultrasound | The ultrasound checks the uterus and ovaries. It can show fibroids, cysts or polyps and can also count the small egg sacs (antral follicles) that help estimate your egg reserve. | Woman |
| AMH blood test | The AMH test measures a hormone that helps estimate the number of eggs remaining (ovarian reserve). In addition, you can take this test on any day of your cycle. | Woman |
| Hormone blood tests | These tests measure hormones such as FSH, LH, estradiol, thyroid (TSH) and prolactin. Some tests require specific cycle days. Additionally, a progesterone test can help show whether you ovulated. | Woman |
| Tube check (HSG or a similar test) | This test checks whether the fallopian tubes are open and whether the uterus has a normal shape. However, the doctor recommends it only when needed and performs it at a particular time in the cycle. | Woman |
| Semen analysis | The test checks sperm count, movement (motility) and shape (morphology). Usually, you should avoid ejaculation for 2 to 5 days before providing the sample. Because results can vary, the doctor may recommend a repeat test. | Man |
| Further tests | If an initial result appears abnormal, the doctor may recommend additional tests, including hormone tests, depending on your situation. | As needed |
These tests help Dr. Parul identify possible causes of fertility problems. However, a single test result does not determine your fertility outcome. Instead, Dr. Parul reviews each result in context and explains what it means in clear, simple language.
Emotional support: counselling for fertility problems
Trying to conceive can bring worry, guilt, sadness and relationship strain. In addition, some couples may feel pressure from family. These feelings are common, and they do not indicate weakness.
Dr. Parul gives you time to discuss how you feel during your first consultation and follow-up visits. She also explains your situation in clear, simple language so you can better understand what to expect. Meanwhile, you can take a few practical steps to manage the emotional pressure:
- Talk openly. Share your fears and concerns with each other instead of carrying them alone.
- Make decisions together. Discuss important treatment decisions as a couple and agree on how much you want to share with family.
- Take breaks when needed. Give yourself time to rest between appointments, tests and treatment steps.
- Ask for support. Reach out to people you trust when you need emotional or practical help.
If you feel very low, anxious or overwhelmed by the fertility journey, please tell Dr. Parul during your consultation. She can listen to your concerns and, when appropriate, suggest additional professional support.
What happens after your results?
Once Dr. Parul reviews your test results, she explains what may be causing the delay and discusses the treatment options that may suit your situation. Importantly, many couples do not need IVF. Instead, Dr. Parul may recommend one of the following options based on your fertility needs:
- Lifestyle changes and timed intercourse: These may help some couples who have a minor delay in conceiving.
- Ovulation induction: Dr. Parul may recommend this when you have irregular ovulation.
- IUI: This may help in cases such as mild male-factor infertility or unexplained infertility.
- IVF treatment or ICSI: Dr. Parul may recommend these treatments when other options are unlikely to work or have not worked.
- Male infertility treatment: She may recommend further evaluation or treatment when the semen analysis shows a problem.
- Laparoscopy or hysteroscopy: Dr. Parul may recommend these procedures when she suspects problems involving the fallopian tubes, uterus or endometriosis.
- Egg donation or egg freezing: She may discuss these options in specific situations.
Finally, Dr. Parul explains each step of your recommended plan, including where you will receive the treatment and what costs you can expect, so you can make an informed decision before proceeding.
