Fertility MOT

Do I need to have a Fertility MOT?

While 1 in 6 couples experience some fertitily problems at some point during their childbearing years, 5 out of 6 go on to create the families they wish with no problems whatsoever. However, the media bombards us with stories about infertility issues and as a result, for many of us, this generates questions about our future and whether this will be a problem that we'll have to face.

Fertility MOT provides peace of mind to people actively trying to conceive or for those hoping to try for a baby in the future. Fertility MOT can be useful to reassure women who wish to delay having a family and provide them with reassurance that when the time is right there are no underlying medical problems that could prevent them from conceiving.

In most cases, having a Fertility MOT will leave you free to make the decision when to have a family when the time is right for you. There is no testing available that can guarantee your ability to conceive, but Fertility MOT will give you the knowledge that there are no major physical obstacles in your way.

Unfortunately, in a few cases, Fertility MOT will identify an underlying medical problem. However, in many cases these problems will be resolvable with further investigation, treatment and advice. For some, lifestyle changes will be advised and in a very few cases follow on fertility treatment may be recommended.
