Recommended for pre-pregnancy or those planning for pregnancy

What to expect:

• Estimated ovulation date
• Assessment of ovaries and pelvic area
• Ultrasound images and report digitally

Our Fertility Scan has been designed for those who are interested in their fertility or those who are beginning to start planning for pregnancy in the near future. 

During the scan we look at the uterus and ovaries prior to conception and measure endometrial thickness. We can provide an approximate ovulation date based on your scan. The scan can be booked at multiple stages of your menstrual cycle.

We recommend you attend the appointment with an empty bladder. 

As we allow a full 20 minutes appointment this provides you with the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and allows us to support you and provide you with the most accurate advice during the scan.

A qualified Sonographer will complete your scan which may be male or female. Our Sonographers are fully qualified and registered medical professionals with lots of ultrasound experience. Our Sonographers follow the British Medical Ultrasound Society protocols and guidance.

If, at any stage, we notice anything unusual during your scan we will explain our findings based on the visual observation at that time. We will advise you on what to do next, concluding our findings with a written report within 24 hours and refer you to your GP or local hospital unit. 

Please note all women’s health scans will be carried out internally.

This scan does not include dominant follicle count.
