Preconception Counseling
Preconception counseling is an important early step in preparing for a healthy pregnancy. It involves meeting with a healthcare professional to discuss various aspects of your health and lifestyle with the goal of addressing any potential risks or concerns and providing valuable guidance.
During preconception counseling, Dr. Katari will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, perform any necessary tests, and discuss various topics, including:
- Medical History: Dr. Katari will review your medical history, including any pre-existing conditions, medications, or family history of genetic disorders. This helps identify any potential risks or hereditary factors that may impact your pregnancy.
- Lifestyle Factors: Dr. Katari can provide counseling and guidance on making healthy choices and adopting habits that optimize your chances of a successful pregnancy.
- Immunizations: Confirming that your immunizations are up to date is vital for protecting both you and your future baby. Dr. Katari will review your vaccine history and recommend any necessary vaccinations to prevent infections that could pose risks during pregnancy.
- Prenatal Vitamins & Supplements: Dr. Katari may recommend specific prenatal vitamins and supplements, such as folic acid, to support a healthy pregnancy and reduce the risk of certain birth defects.
Diagnosis & Management
At Radiance Fertility, our diagnostic approach involves a thorough evaluation to identify potential factors contributing to infertility. We offer a range of tests and procedures to assess reproductive health and overall fertility. Some of these tests and procedures include:
- Hormone Testing: Your hormones play a crucial role in your reproductive health, and imbalances can affect fertility. We offer comprehensive hormone testing to identify any issues that may be impacting your chances of pregnancy.
- Ovulation Assessment: Evaluating ovulation is essential for understanding potential fertility concerns. We offer various methods for assessing ovulation, including validating ovulation kits with blood work and ultrasound imaging.
- Tubal Patency Evaluation: This is an important test to determine if there are any blockages or abnormalities in the fallopian tubes that could impact fertility. It involves either using dye with X-ray or ultrasound technology to assess the patency of the tubes.
After identifying any underlying issues, we work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, medications, or assisted reproductive technologies like IUI or IVF. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of fertility to give you the best chance of success.
Semen Analysis
Though often overlooked, male factor infertility either directly or indirectly contributes to approximately 50% of all infertility cases, making it just as important to evaluate male fertility as it is female fertility. At Radiance Fertility, we offer comprehensive semen analysis tests) to assess the health and quality of sperm.
Semen analysis involves the collection and examination of a semen sample to evaluate various parameters such as sperm count, motility, and morphology. This test provides valuable insights into the reproductive health of the male partner and helps identify any potential issues that may affect fertility.
During a semen analysis, the sample is carefully analyzed by experienced laboratory professionals. They assess the sperm's concentration, movement, shape, and other characteristics. This analysis provides essential information about the sperm's ability to fertilize an egg and the likelihood of achieving a successful pregnancy.
