Pelvic Fertility Baseline Scan £149 | Fertility Scan Clinic
What Is This Scan ?
Pelvic Fertility Baseline Scan
The Pelvic Fertility Baseline Scan is a specialized gynaecological ultrasound, ideally performed between days 2 and 5 of your menstrual cycle. This scan is designed to evaluate the health of your pelvic organs, whether you're planning for fertility or undergoing fertility treatment.
What the Scan Assesses
This scan offers a comprehensive evaluation of your pelvic organs, including:
- Uterus
- Endometrium (lining of the womb)
- Ovaries
Antral Follicle Count (AFC)
The scan includes an Antral Follicle Count (AFC), which is essential in assessing your ovarian reserve. This involves counting the number of small follicles present in the ovaries at the start of the cycle, giving valuable insight into fertility potential.
A Key Step in Your Fertility Journey
Whether you're planning for pregnancy or undergoing treatment, this scan provides essential information to guide your next steps.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
- Duration: 30-minute appointment with a qualified sonographer (Including 20mins scan time)
- Scan Details: A thorough scan to evaluate the size, shape, and condition of the uterus, endometrium, ovaries, and pelvic area.
- Medical Follow-up: If needed, you will receive recommendations for follow-up care.
Trans-vaginal vs. Trans-abdominal Scan
For the clearest results, we recommend a trans-vaginal scan. During this procedure, the sonographer will ask for your consent to insert an ultrasound probe into your vagina. If you are uncomfortable with this, we can perform a trans-abdominal scan (placing the ultrasound probe on your pelvic area), though the results may not be as accurate.
Your Report & Next Steps
After your scan, you will receive a clear written report of the results. If any follow-up care is needed, we will send the report to your healthcare provider at no extra cost (just provide their contact details). Please note that we do not interpret blood test results—these should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
Preparing for your scan
- Hydration: Drink 500ml (1 pint) of clear fluid about 1 hour before your appointment.
- Bladder Instructions:
- If you consent to a transvaginal scan, empty your bladder before your appointment.
- If you prefer a transabdominal scan only, do not empty your bladder before your appointment to aid imaging.
- Dress Comfortably: Wear a two-piece outfit (e.g., top with trousers or a skirt) for easy abdomen access.
