Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week is Australia’s largest national health campaign dedicated to the wellbeing of women, girls, and gender-diverse people. In 2025, the campaign runs from 1–5 September and continues to encourage all of us to speak up, check in, and prioritise our health. At First Step Fertility, we believe this message extends to reproductive health as well. Alongside routine women’s health checks, having a fertility check is an empowering step that helps you understand your current fertility health and plan for your future family.
Whether you are seeking peace of mind, considering IVF, or simply wanting to know more about your options, every check matters.
Fertility Checks – It Starts with a Free Consultation
There are several types of fertility checks available, but not all may be right for everyone. Some women may be managing fertility challenges, while others simply want a clearer understanding of their reproductive health.
Typical fertility tests can include blood tests to assess hormone levels, ultrasounds to review pelvic anatomy, and other investigations. But before deciding which checks are appropriate, the best place to start is with a fertility consultation.
At First Step Fertility, your initial fertility consultation is free. It’s an opportunity to speak with a fertility expert, conduct some preliminary checks, ask questions, and receive guidance on the best way forward. From there, you’ll have a clearer picture of what your fertility journey might involve and the next steps available.
Protecting Your Future: How Fertility Checks Can Guide Your Journey
Just as routine women’s health checks can detect issues early, a fertility check can provide clarity that helps guide your next steps. Many women live with conditions such as PCOS, Endometriosis, or irregular cycles, which may affect their fertility journey.
At First Step Fertility, we can provide the right guidance and create a personalised fertility plan for clients facing these conditions. This may include discussing the most suitable next steps, such as exploring specific tests or considering an IVF consultation if needed.
