Fermoy native, Michelle O’Connor of SIMS IVF.

Fertility clinics are still relatively new to Ireland but on this Saturday, 15th June, Ireland’s biggest fertility clinic, SIMS IVF, will come to Cork. A series of talks will be held in ‘The River Lee Hotel’ covering everything from how to boost natural fertility to the latest advances in assisted reproductive technologies.

Dr Michelle O’Connor, Fertility Check Cork, will host SIMS IVF for this event. Michelle is a native of Fermoy and has worked with male infertility patient services since the completion of her PhD in Biochemistry and Genetics. She established Fertility Check in 2012 with a focus on male fertility testing. However this new partnership with SIMS IVF will allow Cork patients access to a full suite of female fertility tests. These tests will include the SIMS Hormone Profile, Sims Auto Immune Profile, Chicago Bloods and AMH Profile. Reproductive immunophenotype testing can explain repeated miscarriage, while AMH testing looks at a woman’s remaining egg supply or ovarian reserve.

Having a child comes naturally to most couples, however 1 in 6 couples today will need some form of help trying to conceive. Fertility Check and SIMS IVF will now offer ‘His and Hers’ testing in addition to consultations with SIMS IVF specialists when fertility treatment is required.

This information day is free and open to the public. Fertility experts will also be available throughout the day to discuss individual couple’s circumstances.

The full programme of talks is available online at www.fertilitycheck.ie or www.sims.ie.
