When you visit your GP about fertility concerns, you'll typically get some basic testing: day 3 hormone levels, maybe a progesterone test, possibly basic thyroid function. These tests are useful, but they often miss crucial pieces of the puzzle—especially if you have underlying health conditions.

Here's what standard NHS fertility testing typically includes, what it might be missing, and why more comprehensive assessment can make a real difference to understanding your fertility health.

If you're in your 30s or 40s and thinking about fertility, you've probably heard plenty about declining egg quality, biological clocks, and age-related fertility decline. While there's truth to these concerns, the narrative often creates panic without providing useful information about what you can actually influence.

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) testing has become one of the most commonly discussed fertility tests, but many women are left wondering: what exactly is AMH, when should you get tested, and what do the results mean for your fertility future?

If you're preparing for IVF, you're likely feeling a mix of hope, anxiety, and determination to do everything possible to support your treatment success.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age and is one of the leading causes of female infertility. If you've been diagnosed with PCOS, you might feel overwhelmed by conflicting dietary advice or worried about your ability to conceive.

While PCOS can present fertility challenges, many women with PCOS conceive naturally or with minimal intervention—especially when they understand how to use nutrition strategically to support their reproductive health.
