Questions During Treatment (FAQ)

Below we have answered the most common questions women have during a treatment cycle at Fertility First. We hope that you will find this helpful in answering questions that arise during your treatment. Irrespective of which treatment cycle you are on, the solutions are often the same. If there is a variation in the answer for a particular treatment, it is explained below.

Please refer to this information sheet and your treatment cycle sheet before ringing the emergency number (mobile 0408 863 311) as this service is for emergencies only.

The on-call service is available between 9am and 12 midday during weekends and public holidays as well as 6pm to 9pm weekdays. Outside those hours you will need to contact your local emergency service. (If possible, we would prefer that you attend St George Public Hospital emergency department located in Gray St, Kogarah NSW). If you are concerned about an issue to do with your treatment, it is better to ring during business hours or during on-call hours. Your local emergency service will be less familiar with your individual situation.

Please do NOT leave multiple voicemails or SMS texts on the after hours phone. If your period comes after hours or on a weekend, please do not call the after hours phone, but instead contact the nurses the following business day between the hours of 9am – 4pm on (02) 9585 2155.

We appreciate that having treatment is a very anxious time and you want to be sure you are doing the right thing. The more you familiarise yourself with this document, your treatment cycle information and treatment sheets, the more in control you will feel.
