Overview
What is Fertility assessment?
A fertility assessment gives both partners a clear picture of where you are starting from. Instead of guessing, you get answers from hormone tests, an ultrasound, semen analysis and a detailed medical history.
Your results are explained in plain language at a follow-up visit, together with the options that make sense for you. Many couples find the assessment itself brings real relief, because it replaces uncertainty with a plan.

Before and after
Before your visit

- Note the first day of your last period
- For semen analysis, follow the abstinence advice we give you
Aftercare
- Book your results visit before you leave
- Continue any medicines unless we advise otherwise

Every risk is explained before you decide. Results vary from person to person.
Fertility assessment: your questions
Do both partners need to come?
Ideally, yes. Around a third of fertility difficulties involve the male partner, so testing both of you saves time.
Which day of my cycle should I come?
Some hormone tests are best on day 2 – 5 of your cycle. Book the consultation at any time, and we will time the tests.
Is the assessment confidential?
Completely. Your history and results are shared only with you.
