Are you in a same-sex relationship? Come and visit the Fertility MOT stand at the Alternative Families Show 2011 in London.

We’ll be at the event on 17 September, at the Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden to help all those thinking of starting a family to understand their fertility status.

Knowing your fertility status before you embark on any fertility treatment can be extremely beneficial. The Fertility MOT is designed to help identify how fertile you are, and whether there are any issues which are affecting your fertility which you may not be aware of.

For example, if you wish to use your sperm for surrogacy, our detailed semen analysis test will look at different qualities including your sperm count, sperm motility and whether there are any abnormalities which could prevent fertilisation of an egg.

If you’re in a female same-sex relationship, our tests include ovarian reserve measuring, to analyse how active your ovaries are and whether any issues – such as blocked fallopian tubes – could make standard fertility treatment such as intrauterine insemination with donor sperm difficult.

All tests are comprehensive yet simple, to ensure you have the most accurate picture we can give of your current fertility status. Even if you’re not planning a family just yet, it’s useful to know of any potential fertility issues you may have now, so you can be prepared for when the time comes for you to have your family.

Our expert consultants will meet with you once your results are available, to fully discuss the results with you and ensure you understand what they mean.

Fertility MOT testing can be done individually, or both you and your partner may decide to have the test. The full Fertility MOT costs from £750 per couple or £600 individually. We also offer a new ‘Mini’ Fertility MOT. Although not as detailed as the full MOT, it will still give you an indication of your fertility status. Mini Fertility MOT costs from £500 per couple.

To find out more about what’s involved, come and see us at the Alternative Families Show, we’d be delighted to meet you.
