Health and WellnessFertility First

Fertility First was established in 1997 to offer personalised fertility health care and treatment. We provide professional advice, assessment and treatment, coupled with leading-edge assisted reproductive technologies.

A leading Sydney IVF clinic, Fertility First is located in Hurstville just 16 kilometres south of the CBD, and just a short walk from Hurstville train station, across the road from Hurstville Private Hospital. 

Why is Fertility First different?

Fertility First is the only Australian fertility clinic that routinely scans for sperm DNA damage in male patients, and explores all treatment options for patients and tries to minimise costs where possible without compromising the chance of conception or quality of care. The results are clear. It’s why our Sydney fertility clinic is backed by science, commitment, and care.

Our fertility success rates

50% of patients who present to Fertility First will conceive on their own or with simpler easier treatments than IVF as result of the comprehensive screening that is done of all factors that impact on a couple’s chance of conceiving.

In relation to IVF treatments;

• 99% of patients who start an IVF cycle will have an egg collection, compared to the average of a 10% or higher cancellation rate (so less than 90% who start IVF go to egg collection).

• More than 60% of couples will have excess embryos that can be frozen for future treatment cycles.

• Australian fertility statistics have shown that 90% of women under 40 and 80% of women over 40 will have a baby if they continue treatment.

• Women up to 48 years have had babies with Fertility First using their own eggs. Attention to correcting the impact of age on their partner’s sperm and other fertility factors assist in making this possible.

For every patient, our team at Fertility First will provide the highest quality of care through science, compassion and commitment.

The Your IVF Success website data shows that Fertility First is one of only three out of 90 fertility units in the Australia with a live birth rate per egg collection, averaging 60% or greater for women under 35 who are having their first IVF cycle, despite our protocol of transferring only one embryo at Day 3 rather than Day 5. This supports our clinical experience and studies in the literature, showing that earlier embryo transfers can result in a greater number of embryos available for use and therefore a higher live birth-rate per single egg collection.

Simply, many women who come to Fertility First under 35 and who have the greatest chance of getting pregnant quickly with IVF are never recommended to have IVF in the first place, partly because there are simpler, easier ways for them to conceive.
