Your first fertility appointment

Mrs Hayden will meet with you and discuss relevant aspects of your medical history and lifestyle. She may recommend some basic fertility tests through the Nuffield Hospital, Leeds Fertility clinic or your own GP, for which there may be extra charges to consider. Mrs Hayden and the Nuffield team will be able to discuss these tests and any charges with you during your appointment. It is worth noting that most private medical insurers do not cover fertility consultation. You are advised to check with your insurer before you book an appointment.

Basic Fertility tests may include:

For men:

  • Sperm analysis (samples must be produced on the site where they are analysed, in a private room, into a small sterile pot)
  • Sexual health screening (urine test for chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing)

For women:

  • Blood tests (day 1-3 of a cycle, whilst bleeding, to check for certain types of hormones)
  • Vaginal examination tests (sexual health screening vaginal swab)
  • Cervical screening smear
  • Pelvic ultrasound baseline scan (this is performed to make sure there are no interfering factors, and the scan will also assess ovarian (egg) reserve by looking for egg sacs (follicles) that are getting ready to develop mature eggs in the coming months)

For further information on basic fertility testing visit the Leeds Fertility Clinic website.

Next steps

Your results will be shared with you in your second consultation with Mrs Hayden.
