Fertility Assessment
We assess both women and men, tailored to your medical history and needs. Below you’ll find all content from our Swedish page in a clear, updated layout—plus handy shortcuts and booking links.
Initial assessments
To maximise your chances of pregnancy, we support you from start to finish. At our clinic we perform a thorough fertility assessment of both you and (if applicable) your partner. Book a consultation with one of our experienced specialists in reproductive medicine.
Facts about involuntary childlessness
About 10–15% of couples experience infertility—no pregnancy despite one year of active attempts. There are many potential reasons. For women this may include blocked fallopian tubes, anovulation, PCOS, hormonal disturbances, endometriosis, fibroids, etc. For men it often relates to reduced semen quality, with several possible causes.
Sometimes factors from both partners contribute. Sometimes, despite comprehensive testing, no clear cause is found.
The general recommendation is to try to conceive actively for one year before starting an investigation. You should come earlier if the woman is older than 38, has irregular cycles (>35 days), or if there are known conditions that may affect fertility (e.g., significant fibroids, severe endometriosis). A history of cancer treatment in either partner is also an indication to start earlier.
Fertility assessment – women
- Transvaginal ultrasound of uterus and ovaries, including AFC (antral follicle count) to estimate ovarian reserve (approximate number of remaining eggs).
- Hormone testing as indicated by history, e.g. TSH (thyroid), Prolactin (pituitary), FSH, LH, Estradiol (cycle hormones) and AMH (ovarian reserve).
- If IVF is indicated, a uterine cavity assessment is performed. In other cases, fallopian tube patency is also checked using HSS (HyCoSy).
- Chlamydia test if needed.
- We recommend a recent cervical smear (Pap test) within the last 2.5 years before any treatment.
Fertility assessment – men
- One semen analysis.
- Further testing if indicated.
If assisted reproduction is planned, screening includes
- HIV
- Hepatitis B and C
- HTLV I+II
- Syphilis
How it works
Contact us—we schedule your appointments and provide instructions for tests/forms.
Ultrasound and blood tests as needed. Semen analysis for the male partner.
Tubal patency assessment when medically motivated.
We review results and recommend next steps (e.g., IVF/insemination).
HSS (HyCoSy) – tubal patency assessment
HSS allows our doctors to assess whether the fallopian tubes are open. For spontaneous conception—or insemination—at least one tube must be patent so the egg can travel to the uterus.
Semen analysis – assessing sperm quality
A semen sample is analysed in our laboratory to evaluate quality parameters such as volume, concentration and motility. If results are essentially normal, further male evaluation is usually unnecessary.
