In this episode from My Health Academy, fertility specialist Dr. Sarah Hunt provides a highly practical, primary-care-focused guide to navigating fertility assessments. Discover exactly when to bypass the standard 12-month wait and initiate early evaluations for patients over 35 or those with complex histories. Dr. Hunt explains why standard day 21 progesterone tests are often useless for women with irregular cycles, and how to effectively screen for underlying ovulatory dysfunction like PCOS. You will also learn the hidden limitations of a standard semen analysis, and why directing male patients to tertiary fertility labs for onsite sample production is critical for accurate results. Furthermore, Dr. Hunt highlights why Letrozole has completely replaced Clomiphene as the first-line treatment for ovulation induction, offering lower multiple-pregnancy risks. She also breaks down tubal patency tests and explains how modern IVF agonist triggers have drastically reduced the risks of severe OHSS. Australian GPs can claim CPD hours for tuning in.
