Fertility Check Up
Our fertility test is perfect for patients who wish to check their current fertility
This unique service allows you to visit our fertility centre and get a clearer picture of your current fertility and what your potential future fertility may look like.
A Fertility MOT is a series of tests that will help you to understand your fertility and ability to conceive. We have three tests to choose from for women, men, and couples.
Couples Fertility MOT / Test
A joint Fertility MOT test comprises a combination of the female and male tests. It provides you with information to enable you to understand your ability to conceive.
For lesbian same sex couples, we also offer a female couples Fertility MOT test. This enables both partners to have a pelvic ultrasound scan and Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) blood test.
What to expect?
The results of your fertility tests alongside your medical history and lifestyle will be discussed with you both during a consultation with a fertility specialist where the specialist will advise you on your fertility status. This could include any lifestyle changes that you may need to make or any fertility treatment options that you may need to consider.
For lesbian couples, you’ll be able to decide which partner may wish to have treatment first or if you are considering intra-partner egg donation.
If fertility treatment is required you will receive a personalised cost of treatment, including the cost of medication, which will be given to you following your consultation.

A Pelvic ultrasound scan with Antral Follicle Count

Optional extras: HyCoSy test
If appropriate, we can perform a HyCoSy (Hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography) test but this is not part of the check-up’s it will cost an additional £500.
HyCoSy is a non-invasive transvaginal ultrasound technique which assesses the patency of your fallopian tubes, which must be clear of blockages in order to conceive. A HyCoSy involves injecting a contrast fluid into the uterine cavity through the cervix, which will indicate on ultrasound if there are any fallopian tube blockages or other changes in the womb such as polyps or fibroids.
Blocked fallopian tubes can be caused by a number of reasons, including infections, previous surgery and scar tissue. Blocked fallopian tubes do not typically show any symptoms and as such most women are unaware of a problem until they have difficulty conceive.
