Frequently Asked Questions

A fertility scan is an ultrasound examination of the pelvic area, typically used to assess the health of the uterus, ovaries, and endometrial lining. It helps to evaluate reproductive health and support fertility investigations.
Fertility scans may be recommended for individuals or couples trying to conceive, or those undergoing assisted conception treatments. They can also support the evaluation of irregular periods or known gynaecological conditions.
A fertility scan can assess ovarian follicles, monitor ovulation, measure the thickness of the endometrium (womb lining), and check for conditions such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, or structural abnormalities.
The timing depends on what is being assessed. A baseline scan is often performed early in the menstrual cycle (e.g. day 2-5), while ovulation tracking scans are done mid-cycle.
The scan is generally painless. If a transvaginal scan is used, you may feel slight pressure. This method provides clearer images and is commonly used during fertility assessments. Your consent is always required.
You may be asked to attend with a full bladder for a transabdominal scan. For transvaginal scans, emptying your bladder beforehand is usually advised. Specific instructions will be given at booking.
Fertility scans can help track the development and release of an egg by monitoring follicle growth. However, confirmation of ovulation may require additional tests such as hormone blood tests.

Most scans take between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on what is being assessed and whether multiple areas are reviewed.

No. A fertility scan provides helpful information to support conception but cannot guarantee pregnancy. It may guide further investigation or treatment if needed.
The results will be reviewed by a qualified clinician and sent to your referring provider. At Chequers Health, your clinician will discuss the findings with you and explain any next steps or follow-up required.

I was extremely low on iron and can’t take iron tablets. The NHS couldn’t help me quickly enough and I honestly feared for my life.
I had two iron infusions and now feel back to good health.
The staff , doctors and the nurse were second to none .
They suggested I get further checks done via my GP so as to find the reasons why I had such a dangerously low level .
My GP sent an urgent request to the hospital and I have just had an endoscopy, a colonoscopy and a CT scan and await the results.
None of this would have been possible to be completed within 4 weeks without Chequers help and advice.
Thank you for giving me my life back.
