Fertility Assessment
Female Fertility Assessment
A structured assessment of ovulation, the uterus and the fallopian tubes — establishing where the difficulty lies before any treatment is recommended.
Establishing whether ovulation, the uterus and the fallopian tubes are working as they should — and where the difficulty actually lies.
What does a female fertility assessment involve?
It answers three questions in order: are you ovulating, is the uterus able to carry a pregnancy, and can egg and sperm meet. Each is checked differently, and several tests are tied to specific days of your cycle — which is why the assessment is planned around your cycle rather than the next free appointment.
Not every woman needs every test. The history decides which ones are worth doing.
Female Assessment — Step by Step
What happens at each stage, in order.
- 1
History and examination
Cycle pattern, previous pregnancies, surgery, medication and family history, with an examination.
- 2
Confirming ovulation
Mid-luteal progesterone, and scan monitoring across the cycle where the pattern is unclear.
- 3
Ovarian reserve
AMH from a blood sample, with an antral follicle count on ultrasound.
- 4
Related hormones
Thyroid function and prolactin, both of which disturb ovulation when abnormal.
- 5
Uterus and tubes
Assessment of the uterine cavity and tubal patency, where the history suggests it is needed.
- 6
Results consultation
The findings explained together, and what they mean for your options.
About Female Fertility Assessment
A female fertility assessment answers three questions in order: are you ovulating, is the uterus able to carry a pregnancy, and can egg and sperm meet. Each is checked with a different test, and several are timed to specific days of your cycle — which is why the assessment is planned around your cycle rather than around the next free appointment.
What is usually checked
- Ovulation — cycle history, mid-luteal progesterone, and scan monitoring where needed
- Ovarian reserve — AMH with an antral follicle count on ultrasound
- Hormones that affect ovulation — thyroid function and prolactin
- The uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes, where the history suggests it
- Baseline infection screening, which regulation requires before any laboratory procedure
Not every woman needs every test. The history and examination at your first consultation decide which of these are worth doing, and your specialist will tell you why each one is being ordered rather than handing over a standard panel.
Is Female Assessment right for you?
The factors this treatment is usually recommended for.
How long you have been trying
- Over a year if you are under 35
- Over six months if you are 35 or older
- Straight away where periods are irregular or absent
Your history
- Known PCOS, endometriosis or fibroids
- Two or more pregnancy losses
- Previous pelvic surgery or pelvic infection
- Previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy
Benefits & Potential Considerations
An honest picture of both sides, so the decision is an informed one.
Benefits
- Identifies the cause before any treatment is committed to
- Several causes found this way are directly treatable
- Avoids months spent on a treatment that could not have worked
- Gives a baseline against which later results can be read
Potential considerations
- Tubal assessment can cause cramping for a few minutes
- Some tests are tied to specific cycle days, which affects scheduling
- A cause is not always found — around one in six couples has no identifiable factor
- Results can change over time, so older reports are sometimes repeated

Frequently asked questions about Female Assessment
If your question is not here, call the centre — we would rather answer it before you book.
- Usually one full cycle, because the tests are spread across it — baseline hormones and the follicle count early, tubal assessment after menstruation and before ovulation, progesterone in the second half. AMH and semen analysis can be done at any time.
