Your Fertility Pelvic Scan and Blood Tests

The Fertility Pelvic Scan is specifically designed for people currently undergoing fertility treatment. This scan will give the necessary baseline information and assessment of your pelvic anatomy that your fertility clinic will require.

This Pelvic Scan, available to those over 16 years old, is performed by one of our qualified sonographers with diagnostic scanning experience. It includes:

  • detailed scan to look at the size, shape and condition of the uterus, endometrium, both ovaries and pelvic area

  • a choice of blood tests with results available approximately 7 working days after your appointment

  • same-day access to your images and report online

  • medical follow-up recommendation if needed.

The price of this scan includes one blood test of your choice from this list:

  • FSH

  • LH

  • Oestradiol

  • Progesterone

  • Hep B Core

  • Hep B SAG

You can purchase more blood test options at your appointment - just ask the clinic team. If you purchase an extra blood test it will be at an exclusive price of £46.50 or £48.50 dependent on type. Check out our blood test services for more information.

Common reasons to book this scan include:

  • to evaluate the wellbeing of the uterus and ovaries before conception or assisted conception

  • to measure follicles and estimate time of ovulation

  • to measure the endometrial thickness for assisted conception

A Pelvic Scan is best performed trans-vaginally for optimum clarity and results. This means that the sonographer will ask for your consent to insert an ultrasound probe into your vagina. If you choose not to have a trans-vaginal scan, we may be able to complete the scan trans-abdominally (by placing an ultrasound probe on the skin of your pelvic area) - but results may not be as accurate.

You will receive a clear written report of your scan results, including our recommendation for your next steps. If we recommend a medical follow-up, we can email a copy of your report to your healthcare provider at no extra cost if you provide their contact details. We do not offer any interpretation of your blood test results – we recommend you show these to your preferred healthcare provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, we will send you the results and recommend that you share these with your GP or fertility provider.

It is not unusual for some bleeding to occur under the skin following your blood test and sometimes this can extend a little further around the puncture site.  If this causes you concern, check with your practice nurse.

Sometimes we cannot get a blood sample from you. This can be for many reasons, such as not being hydrated enough, feeling cold or having another blood test recently. We will always offer you another appointment so we can try again.

On rare occasions we are unable to complete the primary purpose of a scan. For pregnancy scans, this may be due to your baby being in a difficult position, or something else such as overlying bowel gas which can obscure the ultrasound image. If this happens, we’ll book you a free of charge rescan so we can try again! The primary purpose is outlined on each scan webpage.
