General Question
At Messentia Medicare, we understand that fertility and reproductive health can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help you navigate your journey with clarity and confidence.
How do I know if I need a fertility assessment?
If you've been trying to conceive for over a year (or six months if you're over 35) without success, or if you have irregular menstrual cycles, known reproductive health conditions, or previous pregnancy losses, a fertility assessment is recommended.
What happens during a fertility consultation?
A fertility consultation includes:
✔ A detailed discussion about your medical and reproductive history.
✔ Diagnostic tests, such as hormone testing and ultrasound scans.
✔ Personalized recommendations based on your unique situation.
What are my fertility treatment options?
At Messentia Medicare, we offer:
✔ Ovulation Induction Therapy – Helps regulate ovulation.
✔ Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) – Places sperm directly in the uterus.
✔ In Vitro Fertilization – Combines eggs and sperm outside the body.
✔ Egg/Sperm Donation & Surrogacy – For alternative conception options.
What is Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)?
PGT is a screening process used during IVF to identify genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities before implantation, helping to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Who should consider genetic testing?
You may benefit from genetic testing if:
✔ You or your partner have a family history of genetic disorders.
