Sunfert Fertility Assessment

Helpful tools

Fertility assessment is essential for both men and women because successful conception relies on the health and function of both partners’ reproductive systems.

Fertility evaluation helps identify underlying fertility issues such as low sperm quality in men or ovulation and hormonal problems in women before they become major obstacles. 

Skipping fertility testing can delay diagnosis, reduce the chances of natural conception, and limit the effectiveness of fertility treatments like IVF. 

Fertility Assessment For Females

Assessment #1: Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Test

 

What is an Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Test?

We use the AMH test to measure the level of AMH in your blood. This hormone reflects the patients’ ovarian reserve, which helps us understand the patients’ remaining egg reserve.

Why is an AMH Test important?

We recommend this test because it provides valuable insight into the patients’ fertility potential. It helps us assess how the patients’ ovaries may respond to fertility treatments and supports informed family planning decisions.

Who should consider an AMH Test?

We advise this test for females who are:

  • aged 25 years and above and wish to understand their ovarian reserve
  • planning to conceive
  • experiencing difficulty getting pregnant
  • having irregular menstrual cycles
  • considering fertility treatments such as IVF

When is an AMH Test done?

We can perform the AMH test at any time during your menstrual cycle, as hormone levels remain relatively stable throughout the month.

Assessment #2: Transvaginal Ultrasound Scan (TVS)

 

What is a Transvaginal Ultrasound Scan (TVS)?

Transvaginal ultrasound scan examines the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding pelvic structures. This scan helps our fertility specialists assess patients’ ovarian reserve, follicle development, and identify any structural concerns that may affect fertility.

Why is a TVS important?

We recommend this scan because it allows us to better understand your reproductive health. It helps us detect probable conditions such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, or irregularities that could impact your chances of conceiving.

Who should consider a TVS?

We advise this assessment for women who are planning to conceive, experiencing difficulty getting pregnant, or undergoing fertility treatments such as IVF.

When is a TVS done?

We usually perform the scan at any time in your menstrual cycle, depending on what we need to assess, to ensure accurate and meaningful results.

Fertility Assessment For Males

Assessment #1: Seman Analysis (SA)

Semen Analysis (SA) is a fundamental male fertility test that assesses sperm quality and reproductive potential.

It evaluates 3 key factors which are essential for successful fertilisation including:

  • sperm count
  • sperm motility
  • sperm morphology

 

Sperm Count

  • What: The number of sperm in a man’s ejaculate.
  • Why it matters: Lower sperm counts (oligospermia) decrease the chance of fertilising an egg.
  • Impact: Makes natural conception more difficult; may require IVF or IUI.

Sperm Motility

  • What: The ability of sperm to swim efficiently towards the egg.
  • Why it matters: Poor motility (asthenozoospermia) can prevent sperm from reaching the egg, even if count is normal.
  • Impact: Early detection allows targeted treatments or lifestyle changes to improve fertility.

Sperm Morphology

  • What: The shape and structure of sperm.
  • Why it matters: Abnormal shaped sperm (teratozoospermia) may struggle to penetrate and fertilise the egg.
  • Impact: Guides fertility treatment decisions, including IVF with or without ICSI.

Early semen analysis provides clear answers for couples trying to conceive and supports timely decision making for fertility planning and treatment options such as IVF. 

Therefore, semen analysis is an important first step in understanding male fertility health and improving the chances of successful conception.

What is a fertility assessment and why is it important?

A fertility assessment is a series of medical tests used to evaluate the reproductive health of both men and women.
It is important because successful conception depends on both partners.
Early assessment helps identify underlying issues such as hormonal imbalances, ovulation problems, or low sperm quality, allowing timely and effective treatment planning.

When should I consider a fertility assessment?

You should consider a fertility assessment if you are: 

  • planning to conceive
  • trying to get pregnant without success
  • experiencing irregular menstrual cycles
  • aged 25 and above and want to understand your fertility health 

Early testing can help prevent delays in diagnosis and improve treatment outcomes.

How does fertility assessment improve IVF success?

Fertility assessment helps identify the some of the infertility causes, allowing specialists to design a personalised treatment plan.

This targeted approach improves the effectiveness of treatments such as IVF and increases the likelihood of success.

What tests are included in a female fertility assessment?

Female fertility assessment commonly includes: 

  • Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) blood test
  • Transvaginal Ultrasound Scan (TVS) 

These tests evaluate ovarian reserve, egg supply, and reproductive organ health to support personalised fertility planning.

Why is a transvaginal ultrasound scan (TVS) important in fertility assessment?

Transvaginal ultrasound scan (TVS) provides detailed insights into reproductive health.

It can detect conditions such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, or structural abnormalities, which may impact the chances of conception and require medical attention.

Does Sunfert use AMH testing in fertility assessment?

Yes, Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) testing is commonly used as part of fertility assessment to evaluate ovarian reserve and support personalised treatment planning.

It is often combined with other diagnostic tools to provide a more complete understanding of reproductive health.

What is a semen analysis and why is it important?

Semen analysis (SA) is a key male fertility test that evaluates sperm quality and reproductive potential.

It examines sperm count, motility, and morphology, which are essential for successful fertilisation.

This tool indicates:

  • Natural conception per month if you have no fertility issues
  • IVF success rate at the same age
  • When to seek help after months of unsuccessful attempts

If you are concerned at any stage – we recommend booking a doctor appointment or a free nurse consultation. The sooner you make a plan the better your chances in the long term.

When to seek advice early

If you have polycystic ovaries, endometriosis, or have been through a cancer diagnosis; we recommend you get in touch quickly so we can talk you through all your options and give you the greatest possible chance of success.

If you’re a single woman considering motherhood in the future; it’s best to approach us early and consider egg freezing as this can be an option for you while you have a higher ovarian reserve and healthier eggs.

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
