Before you book
A consultation is for you if you want to understand something: a result you have been given, a diagnosis, a treatment you have been offered, a cycle that did not work, or a question nobody has had time to answer.
What happens
- You book a time and pay. You get a video link by email.
- Before the call, you fill in a short form about your situation and, if you have them, you upload your results. The form is held securely and is seen only by Dr Navindi Fernandopulle.
- On the call, Dr Navindi Fernandopulle goes through your history and your questions. She explains what your results mean, what the usual options are, and what the next sensible step is.
- Within [n] working days you receive a written summary of what was discussed and what to ask next.
What you can bring
Blood test results. Scan reports. Semen analysis results. Letters from a clinic or hospital. A list of medicines. A note of your cycle dates. If you do not have any of these, that is fine; come with your questions.
Topics
- Trying to conceive and when to seek help
- Fertility test results (for example AMH, FSH, semen analysis)
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Endometriosis
- Irregular, heavy or painful periods
- Miscarriage and early pregnancy questions
- Treatment options you have been offered, including IUI and IVF, and the questions to ask about them
- Questions during pregnancy
- Menopause
What a consultation does not cover
- Emergencies. If you are bleeding heavily, in severe pain, or pregnant and worried, call 1990 or go to the nearest hospital.
- Anything that needs an examination, a scan or a test. These are done in person by a doctor who can examine you.
- Children under two.
- Medical reports for legal purposes, or medical certificates.
- Prescriptions.
- A second opinion that overrides your treating doctor. Dr Navindi Fernandopulle can help you understand their advice and what to ask; she cannot take over your care.
Results from other clinics
Dr Navindi Fernandopulle can explain results you bring. Responsibility for acting on a test stays with the doctor who requested it. If something in a result needs urgent action, she will tell you and tell you who to contact.

Where the consultation takes place
