Fertility
In 30% cases it is the woman alone who has fertility issues, but it can equally be because of the man—and then in another 30% of cases, problems are found on both sides.
Fertility Checks with Jersey Women's Health Hub
Whether you're actively trying to conceive or wanting to know about your options, we can carry out fertility checks on both men and women.
Blood tests in women can provide clues to the egg reserve and scans can check for any structural problems such as fibroids, polyps, and any ovarian issues that may be a problem. For men, we can provide semen analysis.
The Details
What is a fertility check?
At Jersey Women’s Health Hub, we can carry out fertility checks on both men and women. Many women like to know now what their ovarian function (‘egg supply’) is and, even if they are not able to start trying for a family at that moment, what other options do they have for the future based on the fertility check provided.
More than 60% of those with sub-fertility suffer feelings of anxiety and depression and frequently become isolated from family and friends because of their feelings. In 30% cases it is the woman alone who has medical issues causing fertility issues, but it can equally be because of the man, and then in another 30% of cases problems are found on both sides.
Women are born with their total egg complement whereas men can continue to produce sperm throughout their lives. As women age, so do their eggs; this can lead to there being more difficulties having a family later in life.
What happens during a fertility check?
Appointments for these checks are in some cases dependent on the day of the menstrual cycle.
Blood tests in women can provide clues to the egg reserve (AMH, FSH, LH) and scans can check for any structural problems such as fibroids, polyps, and any ovarian issues that may be a problem.
For men we can provide semen analysis.
