Results and follow-up
A clinician will review and explain your results alongside your symptoms and medical history. A telephone consultation with Dr Iqbal, our GP and Medical Director, is included at no additional charge where clinically required. Further investigations may be recommended. With your consent, we can provide a clinical summary for your own GP to support ongoing care or referral to a fertility specialist.
£199 includes blood collection, laboratory testing, clinician review and an explanation of your results, plus a telephone consultation with Dr Iqbal where clinically required. A £25 booking deposit is deducted from the total, leaving £174 payable at your appointment. An initial consultation to discuss symptoms or help choose tests is not included. Additional tests, consultations or treatment are charged separately, with costs explained before proceeding.
Please read our cancellation policy before booking.
Important information
This is not a complete fertility assessment and cannot confirm whether you can conceive. It does not include semen analysis, AMH, ultrasound or assessment of the fallopian tubes. Not everyone needs every test in this panel.
Timing around your period: Baseline reproductive hormones are often checked on days 2–5 of your period. Progesterone is usually checked seven days before your next expected period. These timings cannot usually be covered by one sample. We will explain any separate testing and additional charges before booking.
