At Alma Fertility, your journey begins with a personalised consultation and assessment in our London clinic. Our female fertility specialists take time to understand your medical history, circumstances, and goals, creating a tailored treatment plan that combines expert medical care with compassionate support from the very first step.

What is a Fertility Consultation?

A fertility consultation, sometimes referred to as a fertility MOT or fertility check-up, is a comprehensive appointment with a fertility specialist. It gives you the opportunity to discuss your health, history, and goals, and allows us to identify any factors that might be affecting your ability to conceive.

Unlike a general health check, a fertility consultation is highly focused on reproductive wellbeing, exploring issues such as menstrual health, ovulation, sperm quality, hormonal balance, and lifestyle influences.

What Does a Fertility Assessment Include?

A fertility assessment at Alma Fertility is tailored to your personal circumstances, but it often includes:

Medical history review – covering your menstrual cycle, gynaecological history, sexual health, previous pregnancies or treatments, and relevant medical conditions.
Ultrasound scan – an internal scan to assess the ovaries, ovarian reserve, womb lining (endometrium), and general reproductive anatomy.
Blood tests – hormone testing such as AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone), FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinising hormone), oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin, and thyroid function tests.
Partner assessment – semen analysis to measure sperm count, motility, and morphology (if applicable).
Treatment discussion – clear advice on whether natural conception is likely, or whether options such as ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), IVF, ICSI, or egg freezing may be recommended.

Why is a Fertility Consultation Important?

There are many factors that can influence fertility — including age, egg and sperm health, ovulation, and underlying medical conditions. A fertility consultation helps to:

Identify potential barriers to conception early.
Provide reassurance and expert answers to your questions.
Guide you towards the most effective fertility treatments.

Empower you with knowledge and clear next steps.

Who Should Book a Fertility Consultation?

A fertility consultation is recommended if you:

Have been trying to conceive naturally for over 12 months (or 6 months if over 35).
Have irregular or absent menstrual cycles.
Have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss.
Have been diagnosed with conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, or fibroids.
Have a medical history that could affect fertility (e.g. cancer treatment, autoimmune conditions).

"Fantastic Service - I have had a fantastic experience throughout my care with Dr Bora and Dr Maclaran. They both balance excellence in their specialism with emotional intelligence, providing a really seamless and personalised service.”

“Dr Bora was very clear and straightforward about our treatment options and chances of success. She listened carefully and took on board our thoughts and concerns, and was reassuring where appropriate. As somebody who was very anxious about IVF, I really appreciated that Dr Bora went out of her way to help me feel safe and supported. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and we couldn't trust her professional judgement more”

“We are immensely grateful for Dr Bora’s support and expertise throughout our journey. She is very professional, detailed in her approach, honest in her medical recommendation, and helped tailor a treatment plan that worked for us. Always seemed to make time, friendly, compassionate and felt that she genuinely cared.
Thank you for helping us build our family Dr Bora”

“The most valuable part of having Dr Shabana Bora as our doctor was the communication. Our history was complex and I was very anxious. I was able to email Dr Bora whenever I had a question, and her response was so quick, putting my mind at ease. I always valued her human approach and ability to break down information in a more realistic way. It always felt like she was in our corner, willing this to work for us."

"Kate has a wonderful bedside manner. She speaks to you as a person not a patient and doesn’t use medical jargon. She’s clear with her plans for you. I would highly recommend her as a doctor."
