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.

The main causes of female factor infertility include advanced maternal age , ovulation disorders and partial or complete blockages within the fallopian tubes .
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 or it can be booked separately for £150 . To book, please call us on 0800 52 00 161 or request a call back here.
