The Importance of Fertility Assessments

A fertility assessment is a series of tests that assesses your ability to conceive. It is sometimes referred to as a fertility test or fertility MOT. This assessment allows your doctor to detect if there are any problems that may be affecting your ability to have a child. If an issue is found, a fertility assessment is an important diagnostic tool that helps you and your doctor plan your treatment safely and effectively.

At IVI, we offer fertility assessments suitable for couples or individuals seeking to start fertility treatment or who wish to understand which fertility treatment is right for them. If you’re considering a fertility test London, our expert team at IVI can guide you through the process and help you take the first step toward understanding your fertility health.

Fertility testing is an essential first step in understanding your reproductive health. Whether you are actively trying to conceive or simply want to assess your fertility potential for the future, a fertility test provides valuable insights into your ability to conceive. Testing typically involves a combination of hormone blood tests, ultrasound scans, and semen analysis to evaluate key factors such as ovarian reserve, sperm health, and overall reproductive function.

For female fertility tests, such as the Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) blood test and pelvic ultrasound scan help determine egg quantity and the health of reproductive organs. For men, semen analysis assesses sperm count, motility, and morphology. These tests provide a clear picture of fertility status and, if necessary, guide the next steps toward treatment options like IVF or assisted reproductive techniques.

Fertility testing is recommended for individuals or couples who have been trying to conceive without success, those with a history of reproductive health conditions, or anyone looking to take a proactive approach to their fertility. With the right information, you can make informed decisions about your fertility journey and explore suitable treatment options if needed.

At IVI, we offer a Diagnostic Pack for women who wish to assess their level of fertility.

It includes:

• Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) blood test: This measures the level of AMH in your blood and provides an accurate indication of your ovarian reserve level.
• Pelvic ultrasound scan: Otherwise known as a transvaginal or gynaecological scan , this test uses ultrasound imaging to examine the health of the ovaries, womb and fallopian tubes.
• Mock embryo transfer: This procedure allows your consultant to select the most effective route and location for embryo transfer if you are considering IVF treatment.
• Your consultation with one of our fertility specialists: Included with your Diagnostic Pack is your initial consultation where you will meet with your doctor to discuss the most effective fertility treatment options based on your results.

With IVI, the cost of the Diagnostic Pack is £400 . To book, please call us on 0800 52 00 161 or request a call back here .

If you are part of a female couple, we also offer fertility assessments for the same sex couples .

The most common cause of male factor infertility is due to semen abnormalities . For men, a fertility assessment involves a semen analysis , otherwise known as a seminogram . During a semen analysis, a semen sample is analyzed to establish the sperm count (the number of sperm present), sperm motility (how the sperm move) and sperm morphology (the shape of the sperm).

In some cases, sperm quality is affected by certain lifestyle factors, such as drinking alcohol, smoking or being overweight. Your consultant can discuss your results with you and advise whether changing lifestyle habits could increase your potential to conceive.

With IVI, a semen analysis is included in the Diagnostic Pack Plus. To book, please call us on 0800 52 00 161 or request a call back here.
