25.01.2022 I thought this was a good one in the lead up to Halloween Scary....but life changing in the best possible way

25.01.2022 Dr Claire Allanach’s family has expanded! Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby boy, Benjamin. He is perfect and an already very loved little brother to the gorgeous Isla. On behalf of the team, we are absolutely thrilled

22.01.2022 FINAL REMINDER - TONIGHT 7PM my Facebook Live on Genetic Testing. Everything you need to know and I'm more than happy to take any questions. Just be waiting on my page at 7pm....and I'll see you there

22.01.2022 On behalf of everyone here at the practice, happy halloween PS - If you have goodies on standby for trick or treaters tonight, make sure you keep a sneaky stash for yourself

22.01.2022 Hi everyone. Just letting you know that I'll be taking some time off for a bit of a break. I'll be away from next Friday (04th September) and will be back in the office, refreshed and recharged, on Monday 21st September. If you'd like to make an appointment, please give my lovely reception team a call .

21.01.2022 Happy Women’s Health Week (starting tomorrow)! With the stress COVID-19 has placed on everyone’s lives, it’s now more important than ever to look after your overall health and well-being. This is a nation-wide campaign of events and online activities all focused on improving women’s health, and helping you to make healthier choices. If you’d like to get involved, check out www.womenshealthweek.com.au

21.01.2022 It's always a fantastic day when a patient brings in their most precious gift In this case, it was Harrison....and what an adorable little man he is. I'm so lucky to do what I do

20.01.2022 For anyone who is undergoing fertility treatment and has not yet received the result they were hoping for, don't lose faith Sometimes it happens first round, sometimes it takes longer. Everyone is different but one thing is certain - the right mindset plays a vital part. Hang in there

19.01.2022 What a month so far! Despite all that is happening in the world, July has been one of our busiest months EVER particularly from a fertility perspective. We have had lots of successful pregnancies through IVF/assisted reproduction and many people eager to start their journey to parenthood. It shows that despite the countless negative implications of COVID-19, one shining light is that people have been forced to slow down and think about what’s really important in life...and that is of course family. Whether it be starting one, expanding one or taking that very first step to look into fertility options, family has definitely been at the forefront of people's minds

19.01.2022 Happy Thursday everyone! Just a quick reminder that today is my last day in the office until Monday 21st September. If you need anything in the meantime, please give my team a call on 5564 8011. They are always happy to help

19.01.2022 Good news for anyone coming into the practice! As of today, masks are no longer mandatory, temperature checks will only occur if you appear unwell, and you are welcome to bring a +1 to your appointment. A very positive update and an indication that we are back on the road to normality

19.01.2022 This one is for all the twin mums (and dads!) out there

19.01.2022 Although trying to conceive can be a rollercoaster, mantras like this help keep you in the right head space. I'm a firm believer that (although often difficult) maintaining a positive outlook is so important to achieve your goals and dreams

18.01.2022 I’d like to thank my team for all their hard work, particularly since the Covid restrictions eased and we were able to perform elective procedures again. Their long hours, commitment to following the new protocols in place to keep everyone safe, and genuine passion for what we do here has allowed us to continue giving our fertility, gynaecology, obstetrics and fertility clients the very best in patient care.

17.01.2022 FACEBOOK LIVE Do you want to understand genetic testing from pre-pregnancy to embryo testing....and the management of IVF failure? Tune in to my Queensland Fertility Group Facebook Live on Tuesday 04 August at 7pm and I will answer all of your questions.

17.01.2022 Today is World Children’s Day! Take a look at these amazing submissions from Aussie kids of all ages illustrating and articulating how they would reimagine a better world. Our little ones have so much vision and when you see things like this, you feel confident that the world is in good hands. https://worldchildrensday.unicef.org.au/

16.01.2022 Are you taking care of your gynaecological health? Is there a women's health issue that you have been meaning to look into? Let International Gynaecological Awareness Day serve as a reminder to put yourself first

16.01.2022 When people find out they are pregnant, there are a million things to think aboutincluding what they will name their bundle of joy We'd love to hear your favourite baby names, plus any that are a little outside of the box! All the expectant parents out there are always thankful for a bit of ‘name inspo’

16.01.2022 Happiest of birthdays to our beloved Practice Manager Karen We hope you had a fantastic day (even though we know you were secretly wishing you were here working in the office with all of us...)

15.01.2022 Today it’s my turn in the ‘getting to know’ series! Here we go. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PRACTICING? 28 years in total. 26 of those included obstetrics but now I’m dedicating my time to fertility and gynaecology.... WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PART OF THE JOB? Being a part of families at the most significant time of their life. It has been a real privilege. Helping couples realise their dream is truly amazing. TELL US ABOUT ONE OF YOUR CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: I once delivered 8 babies in 3 births in a row. This included 2 sets of triplets and a set of twins. WHAT DO YOU LOVE DOING OUTSIDE OF WORK? Exercise, walking and in true Gold Coast style, the beach. IF YOU COULD SUM YOURSELF UP IN 3 WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE? Lucky beyond words. FINISH THIS SENTENCE: "IF I WASN'T A FERTILITY SPECIALIST / GYNAECOLOGIST, I WOULD BE A: Sports journalist!

14.01.2022 There is a lot of buzz around a woman’s AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) levels and how they can impact her fertility. An AMH test is a simple blood test to assess a woman’s ovarian reserve, and therefore help determine the number of fertile years she may have left. Typically, low AMH indicates a low egg count, while high levels of AMH mean there is a greater chance of eggs to create a pregnancy. If the levels are very high for a female’s age however, this could be an indication... of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) which can also affect fertility. If you are having difficulty falling pregnant or are just curious about your fertility so that you can plan for the future, an AMH test is highly recommended.

14.01.2022 It’s that time of year again! Cue lots of Christmas catch-ups with friends and family and of course, those frustrating last-minute dashes to the shops for those presents you forgot to buy . We’ll be closed for the festive break from midday Tuesday 22nd December for a couple of weeks, back in the office on Wednesday 6th of January. If you have a gynaecological concern over this time, please either see your GP or if it is urgent, present to Accident and Emergency at the hospit...al. If you are a fertility patient, please phone Queensland Fertility Group.

13.01.2022 Happy Thursday everyone! Just a quick reminder (as we know it can be confusing with the many Covid rule changes in recent months) that if you are attending an appointment in the rooms, please only bring 1 support person. ***Also, this support person must be from the same household and unfortunately, children are still not permitted to attend. Apologies for any inconvenience but we are continuing to follow Pindara's guidelines to keep everyone safe Thanks as always for understanding.

13.01.2022 Today is Pregnancy & Infancy Loss Remembrance Day and I wanted to reach out to those who have endured the indescribable agony of losing a child - born or unborn. Our thoughts and hearts are forever with you

12.01.2022 Do you experience one or some of the following: An absence of periods or irregular periods? Difficulties falling pregnant? Acne?... Hair loss? Excessive facial and/or body hair? Obesity? Sleep apnoea? Mood changes? Depression and/or anxiety? If the answer is yes, you may have PCOS. Talk to us about diagnosis and management. There are treatment options, including some simple lifestyle changes which can help this complex hormonal condition.

12.01.2022 Happy Monday everyone Just letting you all know that I will be out of the office next week (Monday 23rd - Friday 27th inclusive). If you need to make an appointment, please call the office

11.01.2022 It doesn't get any cuter than this There was A LOT of commotion in the office this afternoon when one of my lovely patients bought her two little angels in for a visit. The feeling I get knowing that I've played a role in creating an instant family of 4 is indescribable

10.01.2022 A time to stop, reflect and remember those brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good. Forever grateful

10.01.2022 An IUD (intrauterine device) is a small contraceptive device that is put into the uterus. The two types available in Australia are the copper IUD and the Mirena (hormonal IUD). Both are commonly used for contraception. Unlike a copper IUD, the progesterone releasing Mirena is also an effective means of non-surgical treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding. Heavy periods and cramping can be related to hormonal changes as women get older. It is common for women to experience changes such as heavy or long periods, or bleeding in between periods due to hormone levels dropping. Once physical conditions affecting the uterus have been ruled out, a Mirena can be used as an effective, easy solution. Please give my rooms a call if you’d like to find out more.

09.01.2022 Today is World Kindness Day Pay someone a compliment, reach out to a long lost friend, or treat a co-worker (or a stranger!) to a cup of coffee...the options are endless. Small random acts like this can make an enormous impact on the recipient, plus put a smile on your face. It’s a win-win situation

09.01.2022 Happy Cup day everybody! Hope you’re all ready to watch the race shortly....and back a winner Who’s your money on?

09.01.2022 Just a quick update for my fertility patients. My team and I understand that it is a particularly stressful time for anyone undergoing or looking to do IVF, given the unpredictable times we are all facing. I wanted to assure my NSW based patients currently undergoing an IVF cycle that they will definitely finish. If you are a NSW resident wanting to start a new cycle, we are currently getting clarification from the Government regarding time lines so watch this space. I will... keep you all informed. I’d also like to assure you that although there are some delays with embryo testing at the moment, we are still 100% able to offer this to our patients. If you are still feeling anxious or have any further questions, please give our rooms a call.

09.01.2022 A quick message for our lovely patients outside the NSW 'Border Bubble'. It's looking very promising that we will be able to continue your management from November 01st. Hang in there!!

09.01.2022 Endometriosis: the struggle is real. Whether you experience painful, heavy or irregular periods or are having trouble falling pregnant, you may be one of the 10%.

08.01.2022 Happy birthday to our fabulous boss Dr Michael Flynn! Enjoy your special day

08.01.2022 Hope you have a great day off today! Interested to hear what you’re all up to (seeing as there sadly is no Gold Coast Show this year ). Anyone heading away locally for a mini getaway?

07.01.2022 Covid kids!!! It’s a term you’re going to hear more and more as IVF treatments and pregnancies continue to increase in the wake of the pandemic. Channel 9 Gold Coast asked me for my thoughts and featured my lovely patients Cassie and Alex. They are one of the many lucky couples experiencing the ultimate joy during these difficult times Queensland Fertility Group and I are so thrilled for you ladies https://fb.watch/1Tlq2IE6jh/

07.01.2022 Just a reminder to tune in to my page on Tuesday at 7pm for my Facebook Live on Genetic Testing. I will explain the A-Z of Genetic Testing from pre-pregnancy to embryo testing and answer any questions you may have. Looking forward to seeing you!

07.01.2022 Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I hope you have a fantastic day and that your kids spoil you

05.01.2022 Dreaming of holidays abroad But so thankful to be safe and sound with my loved ones

03.01.2022 We love nothing more than when a couple both starts and finishes their journey into parenthood at our office! Meet beautiful baby Rocky and her proud parents Kristyl and Julie. These lovely ladies were much loved fertility patients of mine and after we achieved the best possible outcome (a baby bump ), moved across to my colleague Dr Claire Allanach to look after their pregnancy. There is no better feeling than giving the gift of parenthood
