Triple test for female fertility health

We leave no stone unturned

We strongly believe in the value of talking to our patients and getting to know them before running fertility tests on them. Hence, our female fertility test begins with a consultation, in which a fertility specialist will take a detailed medical history to discuss any existing medical conditions and explore any problems that could be relevant.

If you have had relevant investigations performed elsewhere or you have had treatment elsewhere please bring those reports with you for your consultant to review.  Any investigations will be discussed with you first prior to being carried out.

 The specialist will advise you on your fertility status, as well as provide advice on any changes that may be required to your lifestyle to improve your health and maximise your fertility potential. If assistance is needed, they will also discuss treatment options to help you conceive or help you plan for the future.

Further investigations

The baseline scan and blood test provide a good picture of your fertility status but do not provide complete information. In certain cases, your specialist may advise you to have further investigations.

The most common fertility investigations are:

Midcycle scan

A further pelvic scan performed during the middle of your cycle (days 10 – 12 of a 28 day cycle) allows us to monitor follicular development towards ovulation and the thickness of your endometrium (the lining of your uterus).

3d saline infusion scan

A 3D saline infusion scan (SIS), in which saline is used as a contrast agent, allows the specialist to examine the uterine cavity in greater detail for presence of any pathology, such as endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids and congenital uterine abnormalities. Such pathology might interfere with getting pregnant.

Tubal patency test

A Hysterosalpingo-Contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) is an ultrasound procedure used to assess the patency (open-ness) of the fallopian tubes and detect abnormalities of the uterus and endometrium. The procedure uses a non-toxic contrast agent for visualisation under ultrasound. The HyCoSy is a safe and reliable alternative to the conventional hytsterosalpingogram (HSG) that uses X-rays.

If you are considering trying naturally, timed sexual intercourse, ovulation induction or intra-uterine insemination (IUI), you will require patent fallopian tubes in order to achieve a pregnancy. Occluded (blocked) fallopian tubes are a common cause of infertility. Tubal occlusion can occur as a result of a number of conditions, including previous pelvic infection, previous appendicitis, pelvic adhesions and severe endometriosis. Many women will be unaware that these conditions are present or that tubal occlusion has occurred.

There is also some recent evidence to indicate that blocked fallopian tubes may reduce the chances of pregnancy in IVF.

The triple Test

Harley Street Fertility Clinic now offers all three of the above investigations, in a single combined appointment. Combined with the baseline scan and hormone profile, these results will provide you with a detailed picture of your fertility status.
