I'm Dr Yuval Fouks, a fertility specialist and reproductive endocrinologist in Melbourne. I consult at Melbourne IVF (Collingwood) and the Public Fertility Service at the Royal Women's Hospital, caring for people through IVF, egg freezing, endometriosis-related infertility, and complex reproductive endocrinology.

I believe fertility care should feel as personal as the journey you're on: thoughtful, warm, evidence-based, and tailored to you. I take the time to understand your story and goals so we can build a plan that fits where you are now, whether that's trying to conceive soon, preserving options for the future, or exploring what's possible. You won't navigate it alone; the clinic team and I guide you through every step.

Research and academic roles

I'm a clinician-researcher and Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Melbourne, and an Associate Editor for Human Reproduction. My peer-reviewed research covers IVF outcomes, ovarian reserve, endometriosis-related infertility, and AI in reproductive medicine; see my Research page or PubMed.

Training and background

My training spans Australia, the United States, Israel, and Italy, including a research fellowship at Boston IVF (Harvard University alumnus), the Gray School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, and the University of Bologna. I also serve as gynaecologist and fertility referral doctor for the Italian Consulate in Melbourne.

Common patient questions

Many patients share the same questions early on. I've gathered clear answers to the most common ones: when to see a fertility specialist, what your AMH result means, how many eggs to freeze, your chance of a live birth with IVF, and whether to have endometriosis surgery before IVF.
