What is a fertility test?
How does fertility testing work?
What are the most common fertility tests?
The most common fertility tests include:
- Blood tests for hormones like FSH, LH and AMH
- Ultrasound scans of the reproductive organs
- Semen analysis for men
- Hysterosalpingo Contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) to check fallopian tube patency
- Ovarian reserve testing
When should I consider fertility testing?
You should consider fertility testing if you've been trying to conceive for more than 4 months without success. Testing may also be recommended earlier if you have irregular periods, you have been using contraception for a long period, a history of pelvic surgery, or other risk factors.
How much do fertility tests cost?
The cost of fertility tests will vary depending on the specific tests required, starting at £175 for a semen analysis to £650 for a standard couples check-up. Additional testing or recommended specialised procedures may increase costs.

How long does fertility testing take?
The duration of fertility testing can vary. Some tests, like blood draws or ultrasounds, may only take a few minutes. However, the entire process of fertility testing, should be completed within 4 – 6 weeks, depending on a woman’s cycle and the availability of the individuals being tested.
What time of the month should I take a fertility test?
The timing of fertility tests can be important, especially for hormone tests. Some tests, like FSH and LH, are typically done on days 2-5 of your menstrual cycle. Please consult the doctor if you have an irregular cycle.
How do I prepare for a fertility test?
Preparation for fertility tests may include:
- Tracking your menstrual cycle
- Abstaining from sexual activity for a specified period before semen analysis
- Avoiding certain medications or supplements as advised by your doctor
- Staying hydrated before blood tests
Can you eat before a fertility test?
How long to abstain before fertility test?
For semen analysis, men are typically advised to abstain from ejaculation for 2-4 days before the test, and no more than 5 days. This ensures an accurate assessment of sperm count and quality.
What age can you get a fertility test?
How does age affect fertility testing and results?
How effective is fertility treatment?
The effectiveness of fertility treatments varies depending on the cause of infertility, the type of treatment, and the age of the patients. As a national average, IVF success rates can range from 20% to 35% per cycle for women under 35, but decrease with age.
At Harley Street Fertility Clinic, our success rates are above 45% for live births at any age, through IVF with PGT-A (pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy).
How accurate are fertility tests?
Are there any risks associated with fertility testing?
Most fertility tests are low-risk procedures. Blood tests and ultrasounds are generally safe. Some tests, like HyCoSy, are somewhat invasive but generally safe. Your doctor will discuss any potential risks associated with specific tests.

Testimonials
“I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and support we received at Harley Street Fertility Clinic under the guidance of Dr. Venkat. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were met with warmth and professionalism from the entire team.
Thanks to Dr. Venkat and her team, we felt supported every step of the way, and we are now overjoyed to be expecting our first child.
If you are looking for a fertility clinic that combines cutting-edge technology with heartfelt care, I highly recommend Harley Street Fertility Clinic and Dr. Venkat. They truly go above and beyond to make dreams come true.”
Darsan Trivedi

“We conceived our second IVF baby - our daughter through HSFC and the entire experience was brilliant!
I recommend Dr Venkat and HSFC any day. I have gone through a failed cycle with another private clinic and honestly the compassion and care I have seen in Dr Venkat’s eyes, I have not seen in any other fertility Drs I have come across until now.
Thanks Dr Geetha Venkat and Mr Suvir Venkat for helping us to bring Devi Veda in this world. We are ever so grateful.”
Radha Devani

“I am very happy with HSFC having suffered 5 early miscarriages and being told by a previous fertility clinic I would never have my own child. Dr Venkat told me I would have my own baby and she fulfilled her promise.
I am now pregnant with a baby girl all my dream have come true! I am happy with the care I received from all the staff at HSFC, from the very beginning when my eggs were collected all the testing I had, and when the embryo was put back in was very good. I was blood tested all the time to keep an eye on my blood levels for different things.
Dr Venkat found I had egg/ embryo issues, elevated killer cells, thyroid issues and with the emma, Alice and era I found out that I needed the embryo put in a different day than originally thought. HSFC has changed my life I can’t thankyou them enough!”
