At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, 73 Baker Street, London, we offer discreet and comprehensive fertility testing for both men and women. Whether you’re planning ahead, experiencing difficulties conceiving, or simply want reassurance, our team provides same-day results and expert guidance.
What is a fertility test?
A fertility test is a medical assessment that checks your ability to conceive. It may involve blood tests, imaging, and semen analysis, depending on whether the focus is male or female fertility.
These tests help detect:
- Hormonal imbalances
- Egg reserve (ovarian reserve)
- Ovulation issues
- Fallopian tube blockages
- Sperm count and quality
- DNA damage in sperm
By identifying issues early, fertility testing allows for informed decisions and timely treatment.
Female fertility testing
1. At-home fertility screening
Some women start with at-home kits that measure hormones linked to ovulation, including FSH, LH, and AMH. While convenient, these are limited compared to professional assessments.
2. Professional fertility screening at MDC
We provide in-clinic fertility testing for women, including:
- Blood tests for infertility: Measure hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, AMH, thyroid hormones, and prolactin. We offer a comprehensive Female Fertility Profile.
- Ultrasound scans: Assess ovaries, uterus, and follicle development.
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG): Performed at partner clinics, checks for blocked fallopian tubes.
See our Women’s Health Services for more details.
3. AMH testing
The AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) test is one of the most accurate ways to measure ovarian reserve. At MDC, we provide same-day AMH results as part of our female fertility profiles.
Male fertility testing
1. Semen analysis
The cornerstone of male fertility testing, semen analysis measures:
- Sperm count – total number of sperm
- Motility – how well sperm move
- Morphology – sperm shape and structure
A semen analysis at MDC is discreet, accurate, and available with same-day results.
2. DNA fragmentation testing
This advanced test checks whether sperm DNA is damaged. High fragmentation can lower fertility and increase miscarriage risk.
3. Hormone testing for men
Male hormones such as testosterone, FSH, LH, and prolactin are tested through a simple blood test. Abnormal levels may affect sperm production and fertility.
See our Men’s Health Services for tailored male testing.
Fertility testing for couples
Fertility challenges often involve both partners. That’s why couples benefit from joint testing. At MDC, we provide combined assessments, which may include:
- Female hormone and ovarian reserve testing
- Semen analysis and DNA fragmentation
- Additional blood and imaging tests
This joined-up approach gives the clearest picture of reproductive potential.
Free fertility testing options in the UK
The NHS offers fertility assessments in some cases, although access depends on location, age, and personal history. Waiting times may also be long.
At MDC, private fertility testing is available immediately, with results often ready on the same day. Many couples choose private testing for faster answers and tailored care.

- Have medical conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, or low testosterone
- Want reassurance before starting a family
