Take a first step to understanding your fertility. This simple three-step assessment gives both yourself and your consultant a clear picture of your current fertility status, helping you make informed decisions and plan for your future.
Many women aren’t aware of their fertility status until they have a problem, and by then, options are limited. We encourage all women to be informed about their own fertility from an early age, to allow them to keep their options open as long as possible. When you fully understand your current situation, you can make informed decisions about your options.
The Fertility Health Check
The Fertility Health check includes a 1:1 consultation with a fertility expert, fertility hormone testing, ultrasound, and a personalized plan for your egg freezing treatment. The results of these tests will give you a realistic picture of your current fertility health, and will also help you understand whether you are a good candidate for egg freezing.
The AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) blood test provides an accurate indication of how many eggs you have available. This tells us how you are likely to respond to hormone stimulation drugs for egg collection and freezing.
A transvaginal pelvic ultrasound scan checks your uterus, ovaries and follicles and allows us to assess your overall reproductive health. We look at the development of your uterine lining, blood supply and check if any polyps, fibroids or cysts may affect your fertility. Your visible follicles will be counted to give a further indication of your current egg supply (antral follicle count).
One of our consultants will assess your fertility status by considering your tests results and taking into account your medical and family history and lifestyle. Based on these results you can discuss your options and what’s best for you.
Sometimes an additional counselling session is helpful if you wish to discuss your options in more detail, or if your results were not what you were expecting. This extra support is provided by a large team of independent counsellors and coaches, and can provide you with more time to talk through your options.
The results of the Fertility Health Check are designed to help you form a complete picture of your current fertility heath status, and to give you the information you need to feel more in control as you plan for your future.
PUT YOUR FERTILITY ON HOLD
Egg freezing is a way of preserving your eggs. They stay the same age as when they were frozen, while you get on with your life until you’re ready to start a family.
You set the pace. We’re here for you when you’re ready to start.
