Fertility investigations are designed to identify any factors that might be affecting your ability to conceive, whether naturally or through treatments like IVF, IUI, or other assisted reproductive options. By gaining a clear understanding of your fertility health, your doctor can develop or refine a personalised treatment plan to give you the best possible chance of building your family.
Every fertility investigation is unique, shaped by your medical history, genetic background, and individual circumstances. Whether you’re just starting your journey or have faced challenges along the way, these insights are a vital step towards your dream of parenthood.
Male fertility assessments provide a detailed picture of your reproductive health and how lifestyle factors may be influencing fertility. These tests are a critical first step, offering clarity and direction as you plan your journey.
The Surrogacy Father partners with top fertility clinics to ensure you’re supported with expertise and compassion, whether you’re single, in a same-sex relationship, or in a heterosexual partnership.
A semen analysis is often one of the first steps in understanding male fertility. This quick and straightforward test provides valuable insights into sperm health, helping you make informed decisions about your next steps.
A semen analysis evaluates sperm quality, focusing on key factors such as count, shape, and movement. These details play a crucial role in determining the likelihood of successful fertilisation.
Fertility specialists often recommend this test early in the assessment process. It’s a key part of understanding male reproductive health.
You’ll need to abstain from ejaculation for 3–5 days before providing a sample at the clinic.
Results are typically available within 24 hours. Your fertility doctor will discuss the findings and recommend next steps, which may include IVF or other assisted reproduction options.
Choosing the right time to start a family is deeply personal, and fertility assessments can offer clarity and reassurance. Whether you’re planning to conceive now or exploring options for the future, understanding your fertility health is an empowering first step.
These assessments can help guide decisions around natural conception, egg freezing, or fertility treatments. At The Surrogacy Father, we connect you with leading specialists to ensure you receive exceptional care and tailored advice.
Female fertility tests are available to single women, transgender clients, and women in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships.
An Ovarian Reserve Test (ORT) is a key tool in assessing female fertility. Women are born with a finite number of eggs, known as their ovarian reserve. Unlike other cells in the body, women don’t produce new eggs over time, so understanding the quantity of eggs remaining can provide valuable insight before starting a fertility journey.
Ovarian reserve testing typically involves an internal ultrasound scan to count the number of follicles on each ovary. Follicles are tiny, fluid-filled sacs, each with the potential to release an egg during ovulation.
In addition to the ultrasound, blood tests are carried out to measure key fertility-related hormones. These usually include:
The combined results from the scan and blood tests offer a clear picture of ovarian reserve and fertility potential. During a follow-up consultation, your fertility specialist will explain these findings and discuss the next steps tailored to your unique journey.
Your journey to parenthood doesn’t have to be rushed. Fertility preservation allows you to freeze eggs, sperm, or embryos, giving you the flexibility to start your family when the time feels right.
Fertility preservation is the process of freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos to be used in future fertility treatments. Whether you’re planning ahead or facing specific medical circumstances, this option empowers you to take control of your reproductive future.
There are many personal and medical reasons why fertility preservation might be the right choice for you:
At The Surrogacy Father, we’re here to guide you through every step of this decision with compassion, clarity, and expertise. Your journey is unique, and we’re here to support you in planning for the family you dream of—whenever the time is right.
Sperm freezing is an effective option for men who want to safeguard their fertility for the future. While male fertility doesn’t typically decline as predictably as female fertility, freezing sperm early can offer peace of mind and flexibility.
Reasons include upcoming medical treatments, lifestyle choices, or transitioning for transgender individuals. Whatever the motivation, sperm freezing is a reliable way to preserve future options.
The process starts with a semen analysis to ensure good sperm quality. You’ll need to abstain from ejaculation for 2–5 days before providing your sample at the clinic. The sample is then carefully frozen and stored for future use.
Sperm can remain safely frozen for up to 55 years, provided consent forms are updated every 10 years. When you’re ready to use your sample, it will be thawed and prepared for treatments such as IVF or IUI.
Preserving your fertility today can mean creating possibilities for tomorrow. Over the past three decades, the average age of first-time mothers has steadily risen, with many now choosing to start their families later in life due to career goals, financial security, or personal circumstances.
Social egg freezing offers a proactive approach—giving you the chance to freeze your eggs at an optimal age for future success. With advancements like vitrification (a rapid freezing method that reduces damage during thawing), the chances of a successful pregnancy with frozen eggs are better than ever.
Egg freezing offers women the chance to preserve their fertility and keep future family-building options open. Whether driven by personal, medical, or social reasons, egg freezing can provide peace of mind.
For transgender men, egg freezing before transitioning can also ensure the possibility of having a genetically related child in the future.
While egg freezing isn’t a guaranteed insurance policy, it’s an increasingly popular way to take control of reproductive health and future choices.At The Surrogacy Father, we’re here to guide you, ensuring you feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout the process.
