Welfare of the child forms
All our patients are routinely asked to complete a ‘Welfare of the Child’ Form’.
The law requires us to make sure that there are no medical or social reasons why our patients might not be suitable for treatment. This includes anything that may impact the welfare of any resulting child or the existing children.
Answering yes to any of the question on the form does not necessarily mean that you won't be able to receive treatment. We may need to speak with other service. This could include your GP, Social Services, the Probation Service or the Police Department. To do this, we would require your written consent.
Any concerns or further investigations needed will be discussed with you directly.
What is AMH?
AMH stands for Anti-Mullerian Hormone and is produced by the ovarian follicles.
It is measured by taking a blood sample, and all women referred to Homerton Fertility Centre will have their AMH level checked. AMH, along with performing an ultrasound scan in which the number of antral follicles (egg bags) is counted, is used to help predict a woman’s response to an IVF cycle as it gives an indication of ovarian reserve. AMH can range between 0 to more than 100. A woman who has a lower AMH and has lower numbers of antral follicles will be advised that she may not respond as well and could produce fewer or no eggs. Implications of all the blood tests and the scan will be discussed with you by the doctor
Different clinics use different scales to measure AMH levels and so some patients may have had a previous result taken elsewhere that does not match the result given at Homerton Fertility Centre
If your treatment hasn’t started within 6 months of being seen in clinic, we may advise repeating this test so the doctors can more accurately set the dose of stimulation drugs for your treatment.
