Female Fertility Assessment
The IVI Female Fertility Assessment is designed to assess potential problems leading to infertility or difficulties when conceiving, either trying to conceive naturally or through fertility treatment.
At IVI, we believe that personalising fertility treatments is key to helping more women achieve their goal of having a healthy baby. Our aim is to provide you with the most accurate diagnosis to help you understand your situation and assess the different options you may have. Having a clear picture of your reproductive situation will help you feel confident and informed about your options and future chances of success in starting a family.
Your fertility assessment includes:
- Pelvic ultrasound scan: Otherwise known as a transvaginal or gynaecological scan, this test uses ultrasound imaging to examine the morphology of the ovaries and uterus, ovarian reserve, and general health of your reproductive system.
- Ovarian Reserve Assessment: Evaluation of your ovarian reserve by assessing the Antral Follicle Count (AFC), an indirect measurement of the number of eggs present within your ovaries.
- A 60 minute review consultation with one of our fertility specialists: You’ll meet with a doctor to discuss your pelvic ultrasound scan results and the most suitable next steps based on your circumstances.

Your Female Fertility Assessment – step-by-step
Complete your patient registration
Before your first appointment, you will need to complete your IVI patient registration by filling out a medical questionnaire and required HFEA forms. You can complete and submit these electronically through our Patient Portal.
Arrival at your IVI clinic
Once you arrive at our clinic, our reception team will welcome you and direct you to the appropriate floor and waiting area. We’ll also help you make sure your patient registration is complete before your consultation.
Your initial consultation
During your initial consultation, your consultant will ask you a few questions about your medical history and discuss your family-building goal. If you have previously had fertility treatment, it’s important that you bring any relevant results or reports with you so these can be reviewed with your consultant.
Pelvic exam and 3D ultrasound
A pelvic exam and 3D ultrasound scan will also be performed. These procedures detect if there are any anatomical or structural issues that could affect your fertility, such as fibroids or blockages inside the fallopian tubes. If any issues are found, they will be addressed in your recommended treatment plan.

Female Fertility Assessment FAQs
A fertility test for women is a set of diagnostic tests used to evaluate your reproductive health and identify any potential challenges with conceiving. At IVI, our Female Fertility Assessment includes a pelvic ultrasound scan, otherwise known as a transvaginal or gynaecological scan. This test uses ultrasound imaging to examine the morphology of the ovaries and uterus, ovarian reserve, and general health of your reproductive system. Also included is a 60 minute review consultation with one of our fertility specialists. You’ll meet with a doctor to discuss your pelvic ultrasound scan results and the most suitable next steps based on your circumstances.
Your appointment usually takes around 60 to 90 minutes. This includes time for your scan, review of your medical history, and an in-depth consultation with one of our specialist fertility doctors.
A transvaginal ultrasound scan may feel slightly uncomfortable, but it’s generally not painful. If a blood test is recommended, we’ll take a prick blood sample or venous blood sample,both are quick, safe, and standard in fertility testing.
There are different types of fertility tests, depending on your symptoms and goals. These include ultrasound scans to examine the ovaries, blood tests to assess female fertility hormones, and in some cases, additional testing such as thyroid hormones, progesterone test, and follicle tracking. If relevant, a semen analysis may also be suggested for male partners.
Yes, some forms of hormonal contraception may influence hormone readings and cycle patterns. Please inform your doctor about any contraception you’re using so we can interpret your results accurately.
No special preparation is needed for the female fertility test. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and bringing details of any previous test results, especially if you’ve had tests for conditions like PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), irregular periods, or hormone-related symptoms.
Yes, your partner or a friend is welcome to attend. Many women feel more supported when they bring someone along to their fertility consultation.
Yes, your doctor will go through the ultrasound scan findings during your appointment. If blood tests are needed, these may take a few days, and we’ll contact you with the full results and next steps.
If your fertility test indicates a concern, such as low ovarian reserve, irregular hormone levels, or suspected polycystic ovarian syndrome, your doctor will guide you through your treatment options. We’ll provide a personalised plan tailored to your specific situation, whether you’re planning for future pregnancy or seeking fertility support now.
