Fertility Testing
Overview
Fertility blood tests, AMH testing and reproductive diagnostics give us essential information about your reproductive health, ovarian reserve, hormonal balance, and factors affecting conception. Our comprehensive fertility testing here in Aberdeen helps us identify any potential causes of infertility and guides appropriate treatment decisions.
All our fertility tests are processed through accredited UK laboratories who specialise in reproductive endocrinology, and reviewed by experienced fertility clinicians who provide us with clear interpretation and personalised guidance.

FAQs
What does AMH tell me about fertility?
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) indicates ovarian reserve – the number of eggs remaining. Higher levels suggest good egg supply, while lower levels may indicate reduced fertility potential. However, AMH is just one factor in fertility assessment.
When should fertility testing be done?
Fertility hormone tests are usually done on specific days of the menstrual cycle (day 2-5 for baseline hormones, day 21 for progesterone). AMH can be done at any time. Your clinician will advise on optimal timing for your tests.
Can fertility tests predict pregnancy success?
Fertility tests provide valuable information about reproductive health and potential challenges, but cannot predict pregnancy success with certainty. Results help guide treatment decisions and realistic expectations about conception chances.
Will results be discussed with both partners?
Yes, for couples, we recommend joint consultation to discuss results and next steps. Both partners’ fertility health is important for conception, and shared understanding helps with decision-making about treatment options.
