13.01.2022 Wearing a face mask provides an additional physical barrier, and helps to slow the spread of COVID-19. . How to put a mask on: 1 Wash and dry (or sanitis...e) your hands. 2 Take your clean, unused mask by the ear loops or strings. 3 Put them over your ears or tie them behind your head. 4 Make sure your mask is completely covering your nose, mouth and chin. . Don’t touch or adjust the front of your mask while wearing it it’s the part that’s protecting you from COVID-19. If you do touch it by accident, wash or sanitise your hands right away. . How to take a mask off: 1 Wash and dry (or sanitise) your hands. 2 Do not touch the front of your mask while removing it. Use only the ear loops or strings. 3 Store cloth face masks in a plastic bag until you have an opportunity to wash them. When disposing single-use surgical face masks, place in a bag or lined bin. Do not put masks into the recycling bin. 4 Wash and dry (or sanitise) your hands. . To learn more about face masks: www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/COVIDmasks

13.01.2022 We know that the challenges of Father's Day are significant and whilst we still want to recognise and celebrate the fantastic Dads in our lives, this day brings many feelings to the surface. It is understandable to feel a mixture of sadness, anger and envy and that's okay. We want you to know that you are not alone. We hear you, we see you, and we are committed to supporting you. We encourage you to be gentle with yourself during this time. Give yourself space to have all of your feelings on this day. Try to allow for the sadness, as well as the appreciation of others. It is important that you give yourself whatever care you need during this time and if you need our support, we are always here to help. If you would like to speak to one of our Counsellors, please contact us on (08) 8100 2900.

08.01.2022 A healthy baby starts with healthy sperm and healthy eggs. The good news is that the effects of smoking on eggs, sperm and fertility are reversible. Whether it’s the male or the female (or both) who smokes, quitting will increase the chance of conceiving and having a healthy baby. It doesn’t matter how long a man has smoked for. As soon as he stops smoking, his sperm will become healthier. Men who quit at least three months before conception will have much healthier sperm wi...th a greater chance of fertilising an egg, and creating a healthy baby. Quitting improves the chance of getting pregnant. Stopping smoking can improve natural fertility and some of the effects of smoking can be reversed within a year of quitting. Women who quit smoking before conception or within the first three months of pregnancy, reduce the risk of their baby being born prematurely to the same level of risk for non-smokers. Women who stop smoking early in their pregnancy have babies with similar birth weights as babies born to non-smokers. Women who quit before their third trimester can avoid much of the effects smoking has on birth weight.

08.01.2022 Endometriosis Awareness. Endometriosis affects one in ten women and symptoms for each woman will vary, contributing to the delay in diagnosis and therefore treatment. If your period puts your life on hold around or during your period, you may have endometriosis.

08.01.2022 Chromosome variation is a common cause of miscarriages which can turn your fertility journey into a painful and emotional experience. Genetic testing enables chromosomally healthy embryos, or those unaffected by a specific disorder, to be selected for transfer during an IVF cycle, increasing the change of a healthy baby. Testing is an option if your fertility specialist has reason to believe that there is a specific risk, or if you want to optimise your chances of a healthy p...regnancy. The following cover the range of testing options that exist: - PGT-A tests the embryo for the correct number of chromosomes. - PGT-M tests for a known single gene disorder. - PGT-SR verifies if there are any structural chromosome rearrangements. Here at Fertility SA, we have information regarding the tests available and our team of fertility specialists, nurses, counsellors and embryologists are able to support you through the decision making and the process of undertaking screening. If you have any questions, please call us on (08) 8100 2900.

02.01.2022 Dr Sally Reid is participating in the "Australian Oncofertility: A Changing Landscape, towards Improving Access" virtual conference this Thursday, 20th August. This conference is to further develop both knowledge and collaboration amongst oncology, haematology, endocrinology and fertility specialists. It is a challenging time for those people facing a cancer diagnosis and an important consideration is any effect cancer therapies could have on future fertility. Dr Reid has a s...pecial interest in Oncofertility and understands the importance of having a discussion about fertility preservation options as soon as possible after diagnosis. Here at Fertility SA we have a fertility preservation pathway to support each person’s unique circumstance and treatment regime and understand the importance of providing individuals with options for the future. If you have any questions or require more information, please call us on (08) 8100 2900.
