A consultation with an embryologist
Your results, your embryo report, the lab and your next appointment, explained one-on-one by an embryologist with 17 years in IVF laboratories. By video call, in English or Afrikaans.
Bring the questions your appointments leave you with
Your results, explained
Semen analysis, AMH and other fertility tests: what each number measures, what it leaves out, and what to ask next.
Your embryo report
Fertilisation checks, day 3 and day 5 embryos, grading, blastocysts and why numbers fall from one day to the next.
Inside the IVF lab
Sperm preparation, egg screening, IVF and ICSI, assisted hatching and embryo culture, step by step, from someone with 17 years of doing them.
Freezing and storage
How eggs and embryos are vitrified, stored and warmed again, and the questions to ask about storage.
The male side
Sperm tests, sperm DNA and what the lab looks at when it prepares a sample for treatment.
Your next appointment
A clear list of questions to take to your doctor or clinic, so the next conversation goes further.
Please noteKara is an embryologist and reproductive biologist, not a medical doctor. A consultation is education: she explains how things work and what your results mean in general, and helps you prepare your questions. She does not diagnose, prescribe or replace the advice of your own doctor or clinic.
