Fertility Tests for Women
Understanding your fertility can be an important part of looking after your wider health and planning for the future. Fertility testing for women can offer useful information whether you are trying to conceive now, thinking ahead, or simply want a clearer picture of your reproductive health.
At our clinic, fertility tests for women usually involve blood tests and transvaginal ultrasound scans. Together, these help us build a fuller understanding of ovarian reserve, reproductive health, and the options that may be available to you.
You do not need to be ready for treatment to have testing. Many women choose a fertility test or treatment as part of their wider health planning, so they can make informed decisions with more clarity and confidence.

What fertility tests are available for women?
Fertility tests for women are investigations used to assess different parts of reproductive health. These may include hormone blood tests, such as AMH, alongside a transvaginal ultrasound to look at the uterus and ovaries. For some patients, a HyCoSy may also be advised to check the uterus and fallopian tubes.
No single test can give a complete picture of fertility. That is why our doctors look at your results alongside your age, menstrual cycle, medical history, previous test results and personal goals. Looking at all of this together helps us give advice that is individual to you, rather than relying too heavily on one result in isolation.
A fertility test for women can help show ovarian reserve, how the ovaries may respond if treatment is needed, whether additional checks might be helpful, and which options may be most appropriate for your circumstances.

Why get fertility tests?
A fertility test can help you better understand your reproductive health and think ahead with more confidence. This can be especially helpful because egg numbers decline over time, and having information earlier may give you more opportunity to consider your options.
Your results can help show which next steps may be most suitable, whether that means more testing, IUI, IVF, or egg freezing. They can also help our team plan treatment more carefully if you do decide to move forward.
AMH is an important fertility marker for women, but it is still only one part of the picture. It needs to be considered alongside your age, medical history, scan findings and any other relevant results. In the same way, one test alone cannot give a full or accurate view of fertility potential.
We also try to avoid unnecessary repeat testing. If you have already had recent tests through another clinic or your GP and they are still suitable to use, we can review them before recommending anything further.

Your results help us understand what may be affecting your fertility and which options may be suitable. Our team will explain everything clearly and support you through your next steps.
Fertility testing can give valuable information about your reproductive health, but it cannot guarantee whether or when you will get pregnant. It helps build a clearer picture of your fertility potential and can guide decisions around treatment, timing, and future planning.
Not always. If you have had recent fertility tests and the results are still clinically suitable, we may not need to repeat them. We encourage patients to share previous results to avoid unnecessary testing and additional costs where possible.
Yes. You can have fertility testing without moving on to treatment. Many women choose testing to understand their fertility health and future options better. Your results can help you plan, even if you are not ready to make any immediate decisions.
The main fertility tests for women usually include AMH testing, hormone blood tests, transvaginal ultrasound, and, in some cases, HyCoSy. These tests help assess ovarian reserve, the uterus and ovaries, and whether the fallopian tubes appear open.
Yes, we do, and we encourage patients to send in results when they have had testing elsewhere to save the cost of repeating tests.
To make sure that the sample is usable, we usually recommend that you abstain from sex or masturbation for several days before the test, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and other stimulants before the sperm analysis and avoid providing a sample when unwell or stressed. We would ask that you inform our team of any medications or herbal remedies you are taking, before giving a sample.
Yes. Without thorough testing and assessment, we have no way of determining the correct treatment path for you. Once we have a clear picture of your medical and fertility health, we will be able to assist you with a treatment plan that will give you the best chance at a successful outcome.
