Fertility testing services
Helping to increase your chances of a successful pregnancy
We’re here to help you plan your future family with confidence, addressing any fertility issues early. Our consultants can perform a complete range of female, male and general fertility testing, giving you the benefit of our expert knowledge and access to the latest specialist diagnostics and procedures. The tests we carry out include:
Female fertility testing
Ovarian reserve assessment
These tests check how many eggs you’re producing and include blood tests and a transvaginal ultrasound scan to give your consultant a complete picture.
Reproductive immunology
Only offered in limited cases, you’ll be tested to explore how your immune system responds when you become pregnant.
Implantation failure and miscarriage
If you’ve suffered repeated miscarriages, we’re here for you with a range of screening tests designed to check for any potentially treatable causes.
Pelvic ultrasound scan
This key component of a full fertility assessment allows your consultant to assess your womb lining and ovarian reserve, looking for underlying conditions that may impact your fertility.
Tubal assessment
This range of assessments includes two simple outpatient procedures – an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) and an hysterosalpingo contrast sonography (HyCoSy) ultrasound, both scanning your fallopian tubes to see if they are blocked. Your consultant may recommend a laparoscopy too.
Surgical investigation for fertility
Your consultant may recommend a laparoscopy or hysteroscopy procedure to fully examine your pelvis, looking for any underlying conditions and helping to start treating them.
Endometrial receptivity array (ERA)
This involves testing a sample from your womb lining to check the best time to transfer an embryo. If you’ve experienced repeated miscarriages or implantation failure, your consultant may suggest this.
Male investigations
Semen analysis
This is usually the first test you’ll have as part of male fertility investigations. A semen analysis looks at sperm numbers, movement and shape.
Sperm DNA test
Male fertility test to analyse sperm quality. This test to examines DNA damage that may be behind unexplained infertility.
Further fertility investigations
We offer a series of investigations for men depending on the results of your semen analysis. These include ultrasound, infection screening, hormone tests, genetic tests and a sperm DNA test measuring for sperm DNA damage, which can reduce your chance of conceiving.
General investigations
Fit for fertility
Why wait till you’re trying to conceive? Our Fit for Fertility health screening allows you to start planning ahead, offering peace of mind or allowing you to start exploring your assisted fertility options earlier.
Cristina's IVF story
When Cristina and her husband decided to have a child, little did they know that in creating a life, Cristina would be saving her own. See how we helped Cristina to have a successful experience with IVF by safely completing a round of egg collection before she started her radiation treatment for breast cancer.
IVF is just one of a range of fertility treatments that we offer at HCA UK. Other treatments include egg freezing, embryo freezing, egg sharing and more. We're also specialists in treating low ovarian reserve. So, if your fertility tests do reveal a challenge, rest assured that doesn’t mean you can’t go on to have a family.
If you have a chance of success, we will treat you.

Our patients' fertility stories
How Lister Fertility Clinic helped two fathers-to-be
Paul is sitting in his home in Belfast, with his husband Neil and their beautiful three-month-old son Felix, talking about their journey to fatherhood – a journey that the Lister Fertility Clinic, part of HCA Healthcare UK, accompanied them on.
Clare’s fertility treatment
Clare and her husband Derek thought they might never have children, until joining the egg-sharing programme at the Lister Fertility Clinic.
Alice and Aaron's fertility treatment
After being told they’d never have children, Alice and Aaron turned to the Lister Fertility Clinic. They now have a beautiful two-year-old daughter.
“At each step of the process we felt confident that Miss Farahani had recommended a personalised plan tailored to our circumstances rather than simply following a standard protocol. As such we felt much more confident in our treatment, which was so valuable in a process that can be emotionally draining.”
