For those undergoing IVF treatment – or for those who are experiencing difficulties with fertility, Ultrasound Direct Livingston offers a Fertility Pelvic Scan for only £99.

What the scan is for
This scan is usually used to:
- Estimate the time of ovulation and measure the endometrial thickness for assisted conception.
- Measure the follicles and endometrial thickness prior to private IVF treatment in the UK or abroad.
- Detect the presence and position of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD or coil).
- Check the wellbeing of the uterus and ovaries before conception.
The scan provides a detailed look at the size, shape and condition of the:

- Pelvic area
- Endometrium (Womb lining)
Appointment length
Approximately 30 minutes with a 10 to 15 minute scan.
