Dr Sonya Jessup
Dr Sonya Jessup trained in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Royal Women´s Hospital in Melbourne between 1995 and 2002. Since obtaining her Fellowship with the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, she has spent the last six years working and training specifically in the field of fertility medicine. Initially based at Melbourne IVF, she was then accepted for sub-specialty training as part of the Certificate in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (CREI) and elected to train at the large public fertility centre (fertility PLUS) associated with the Auckland University School of Medicine. As well as managing large numbers of IVF cycles, much of her work was centered around the fertility treatment of women with endometriosis and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). The centre also had a strong focus on advanced laparoscopic surgery and reproductive endocrinology.
In 2007 Sonya Jessup moved back to Brisbane with her husband and four small children and continued t work in Fertility Medicine for the next year based at the Wesley Hospital. She joined Life Fertility in March 2009 to work with Glenn Sterling and his dynamic team.
Dr Jessup offers patients the full range of fertility services including intrauterine insemination (IUI), invitro fertilization (IVF), intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and donor egg and donor sperm treatment cycles. She also continues to offer patients a full spectrum of gynaecology services including laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and hysterectomy and management of menstrual bleeding disorders and abnormal cervical pathology.
