AMH is not a fertility test
A single blood test has become shorthand for whether someone can have a baby. It isn't that, and treating it that way causes real distress.
Most of what people want to know about fertility, pregnancy and women's health isn't secret. It's just buried under noise, or explained in a way that assumes you already have a medical degree.
This is where we put the things our practitioners find themselves explaining over and over: what a test actually measures, what a symptom might mean, what the research does and doesn't support, and what tends to help.
Longer pieces from our specialists on fertility, pregnancy, gynaecology and wellbeing, plus updates from the clinic.
Information evenings, workshops and small-group sessions held at our Collingwood rooms and online. Places are limited so that there's room for real questions.
Nothing here is a substitute for advice about your own situation. If something you read raises a question, bring it to your appointment. That's the best possible use of it.
Plain-language writing from our practitioners on fertility, pregnancy, endometriosis, hormones and recovery.
Information evenings, birth preparation workshops and webinars, run by the people you would see in the room.
Our podcast on fertility, pregnancy and birth, hosted by Dr Joseph Sgroi and Vanessa Salerno.

Australian women wait years for an endometriosis diagnosis. Much of that delay is avoidable, and some of it starts with the language we use about period pain.
Most people plan their birth in detail and the twelve weeks afterwards not at all. Those weeks are the ones that tend to catch families off guard.
From the team
A podcast hosted by Dr Joseph Sgroi, obstetrician and fertility specialist, and Vanessa Salerno, birth and postpartum doula. Across preconception, pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period, they talk through the medical and the holistic side of the same moments, drawing on what each of them sees from a very different seat in the room. It plays like the conversation you would get from either of them in a consult, just longer and with more room for tangents.
