Jessie J, Fertility, and the Role of Blood Testing
By Tharb Faisl
“Our cancer screening can be part of a broader longevity health screening, which checks multiple organ systems and long-term risk factors.”
When singer Jessie J opened up about her fertility struggles, it resonated with millions worldwide. Her honesty reminded us that fertility challenges are more common than many people realise. At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre (MDC) in Central London, we help patients and couples who want answers about their reproductive health through discreet, same-day blood and fertility testing.
Whether you are starting your journey, have been trying for a while, or simply want reassurance, fertility blood tests can provide clarity and options.
Why Fertility Testing Matters
Infertility affects around 1 in 7 couples in the UK. While age is a key factor, other causes include hormone imbalances, sperm quality issues, thyroid problems, or underlying medical conditions. The earlier you identify these, the better your chance of taking action.
Fertility testing is not just about conception. It’s about understanding your body, hormones, and long-term reproductive health.
Women’s Fertility Testing at MDC
Inspired by stories like Jessie J’s, many women want to know where they stand. Our Well Woman Profile (£199) provides a comprehensive check of:
- FSH, LH, and Oestradiol – key hormones for egg health and ovulation.
- Vitamin D, B12, Ferritin, and Folate – deficiencies can affect fertility and pregnancy.
- Thyroid Function (TSH, FT4) – imbalances can interfere with conception.
- Iron studies – vital for energy and reproductive wellbeing.
We also offer AMH testing, which measures ovarian reserve and provides insight into how many eggs you may have left. This is especially important for women considering egg freezing or IVF.
Men’s Fertility Testing at MDC
Male fertility is equally important, and many cases of infertility are linked to sperm health. At MDC, we provide:
- Comprehensive Semen Analysis – checks sperm count, movement, and shape.
- DNA Fragmentation – evaluates sperm DNA integrity.
- Male Hormone Panel – Testosterone, FSH, LH, Prolactin, SHBG, and PSA.
Our Comprehensive Fertility Profile (£674) and Advanced Care Profile (£932) combine semen analysis with hormonal and genetic checks for the most detailed insight into male fertility.
Couples’ Fertility Testing
At MDC, couples often book together for a complete overview. This approach saves time, reduces stress, and provides answers that help guide the next steps, whether natural conception, assisted reproduction, or lifestyle changes.
Why Early Fertility Checks Help
Waiting until there’s a problem can add years of frustration. Early testing can:
- Highlight hormone imbalances before symptoms arise.
- Reveal sperm or egg quality issues early.
- Provide reassurance for couples trying to conceive.
- Support better planning for IVF or egg/sperm freezing.
Jessie J’s story shows how emotional the fertility journey can be. Having knowledge and answers early on can make that journey easier.
Case Study – A Couple in Their 30s
A couple in their early 30s visited MDC after six months of trying without success.
- The woman’s hormone profile revealed thyroid imbalance, which was corrected with treatment.
- The man’s sperm analysis was normal, giving reassurance.
- Within three months, the couple conceived naturally.
Without testing, they might have waited years before identifying the thyroid issue.
