Pre-Pregnancy Counselling
Pre-pregnancy counselling is a counselling session conducted before you conceive and is beneficial for the mother as well as the baby during the term of pregnancy. It helps in checking for possible risk factors during pregnancy and gives a way to resolve any medical issues you may have before you become pregnant. Pre-pregnancy counselling and care will help you to become physically healthy and emotionally strong before you enter the pregnancy phase.

Fertility Preservation
Fertility preservation is the process of saving or storing eggs, sperm, embryos, or reproductive tissue so that a person can use them to have biological children in the future.
Among the various fertility preservation options, egg freezing is the most common and well known one.
If you are considering fertility preservation, talk to Dr Samina about what the best options are for you.

Ovulation Induction
Clomiphene tablets are usually started early in your cycle (between day three and five) and are taken for five days. This medication stimulates the release of a naturally occurring hormone called FSH, which will cause ovarian follicles to grow.
Letrozole tablets are also started early in the cycle (between day three and five) and are taken for five days. Letrozole increases the production of FSH by suppressing the production of oestrogen. The production of FSH will cause ovarian follicles to grow.
Vaginal ultrasounds measure the thickness of the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) as well as the size and number of follicles on both ovaries. Trigger injections are not always necessary, if you surge naturally, they are not required.
If you do not have a period within 19 days of ovulation, you need to have a pregnancy blood test.
