For heterosexual couples, we offer a complete fertility assessment that includes both partners. This is suitable for couples who are considering fertility treatment or may wish to start a family and want to gain a clear picture of their chances of conceiving naturally.
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.
- Semen analysis: Otherwise known as a seminogram. During a semen analysis, a semen sample is analysed to establish the sperm count (or sperm concentration), sperm motility (how the sperm move) and sperm morphology (or its shape). 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.
- A 60 minute review consultation with one of our fertility specialists: You’ll meet with a doctor to discuss your pelvic ultrasound scan and semen analysis results. The most suitable next steps will be discussed based on your circumstances.

Why get a fertility test for couples?
Whether you’re actively trying to conceive or planning for the future, a joint fertility assessment helps provide clarity for both partners. For heterosexual couples, the assessment combines female reproductive health checks with a full semen analysis for the male partner. This approach offers a clearer picture of your fertility potential as a couple, helping identify any factors that may be affecting your chances of conceiving.
We also offer fertility testing options for same-sex female couples. Each partner can undergo a pelvic ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve and overall reproductive health. These insights are particularly helpful when planning treatments such as IUI or reciprocal IVF.
Your Couple’s 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.
The male partner will provide a semen sample in a private, comfortable room. The semen sample is analysed to establish the sperm count (or sperm concentration), sperm motility (how the sperm move) and sperm morphology (or its shape).
Personalised treatment plan
After receiving your results, a personalised treatment plan will be created for you and your consultant will guide you through each step. Your plan includes a complete breakdown of fees, so you know exactly how much your treatment will cost before you begin.
In some cases, additional tests may be recommended. Any recommended additional tests will be explained in detail.
Getting you started
Once you have your personalised treatment plan, we recommend you take it home with you and make sure you understand each of the steps involved. If you have any doubts, please contact us. When you’re ready, all you need to do is let us know. We will arrange your Nurse Planning Consultation and start to map out your provisional treatment dates.
