Fertility Tests for Women

Fertility testing can give you valuable information about your reproductive health, whether you are trying to conceive, planning for the future, or simply want to understand your options.

At Thérapie Fertility, our fertility tests for women include blood tests and transvaginal ultrasound scans. Together, they give us a clearer picture of your ovarian reserve and reproductive health so that we can talk you through your possible next steps. 

You do not need to be ready for fertility treatment to have testing. Many women choose a fertility test as part of their wider health and wellness planning, helping them make informed decisions with greater confidence.

What fertility tests are available for women?

Fertility tests for women are assessments that help us understand different parts of reproductive health. They may include Hormone Blood Tests, such as an AMH test, and a Transvaginal Ultrasound to assess the uterus and ovaries. In some cases, a HyCoSy may also be recommended to check the uterus and fallopian tubes.

No single test can tell the full story of your fertility. That is why we look at your results alongside your age, medical history, menstrual cycle, previous results, and personal goals. Looking at all of these factors helps our fertility specialists give you personalised advice, rather than basing it on a single result.

Fertility testing can help you understand your ovarian reserve, how your ovaries may respond to treatment, whether further checks may be helpful, and which options may be most suitable for you

Why get fertility tests?

A fertility test can help you understand your reproductive health and plan ahead. This can be especially valuable because egg numbers naturally decline over time, and the earlier you have information, the more time you may have to consider your options. 

Your results can help identify which next steps may be most suitable, whether that is further testing, IUI, fertility treatment, or consideration of fertility preservation.

AMH is an important marker of ovarian reserve, but it is only one part of the picture. It should always be reviewed alongside your age, medical history, and other relevant results. If treatment is recommended, your results may also help guide plans for options such as IVF

We also aim to avoid unnecessary repeat testing. If you have recent results from another clinic or your GP, we will review them where possible before recommending any further tests.

The female fertility testing process

  • 01

    Consultation and history

    The fertility testing process starts with a free consultation with one of our fertility nurses. We will talk through your medical history, menstrual cycle, previous results, fertility goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. The information we gather during this consultation helps us understand which tests are most relevant for you and ensures your assessment is tailored to your individual situation.

    Blood tests and ultrasound

    Your assessment may include blood tests, such as AMH and other hormone markers, and a transvaginal ultrasound scan or HyCoSy. These tests help us build a clearer picture of your ovarian reserve and reproductive health. All ultrasound scans we use for fertility assessment are transvaginal, allowing our team to assess the uterus and ovaries in more detail.

  • 03

    Results and next steps

    Once your results are available, our team will share them with you in your patient portal. Your test results will be explained in further detail at your medical consultation with our fertility specialist. These results may help guide future options such as further testing, egg freezing, IUI, IVF, or other fertility treatments. You may also decide not to proceed with treatment right now. Either way, you will have more information to help you with your plans.

Your fertility testing for women questions answered

  • Finding out something unexpected can feel emotional, but it can also provide useful direction. 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.

  • Fertility tests range in cost from 100 to 400 depending on which clinic or healthcare facility you attend. Your local GP may be able to carry out some of the more basic fertility testing for you. At Thérapie Fertility an AMH or semen analysis is 100.

  • 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.
