When to Consult a Doctor About Fertility
Approximately 84% of heterosexual couples conceive naturally within a year of having regular unprotected intercourse, but about one in seven couples may face challenges. If you’re an LGBT couple or a single woman looking to start a family, your first step would be to reach out to us for a consultation or attend an information event at your nearest TFP Fertility UK clinic.
You should see a doctor or GP regarding your fertility if:
- You’ve been trying to conceive for over a year.
- You should seek advice sooner if:
- You have medical or menstrual issues.
- You’re 36 or older, as fertility declines more rapidly in this age group.
Your doctor may conduct an initial assessment, reviewing your medical history and lifestyle factors such as weight, smoking, and stress. You may be referred for tests like blood tests or scans to evaluate your reproductive health. Men might undergo semen analysis to check sperm issues.
Need Extra Support with Fertility?
If you’ve completed tests and are ready to move forward, we’re here to assist you. No matter your specific needs, our expert team is committed to understanding your situation and discussing your options.
When to See a Fertility Specialist
The NHS provides a referral process for fertility treatment. If you’re interested in improving your fertility, exploring options for single women, or looking into treatments for women over 40, we can guide you through these pathways.
Choosing the Right Clinic
Selecting the right fertility clinic is essential. Consider the following:
- Is the treatment process explained clearly?
- Do I feel comfortable asking questions?
- Are the staff friendly and understanding?
- Are there clear pricing and payment options?
- Is the location accessible with parking available?
At TFP Fertility UK, we prioritize all these aspects and more, offering short waiting times, specialist counselling, and access to additional therapies. You can also check the HFEA (Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority) website for insights on quality and success rates of fertility clinics. All TFP Fertility clinics hold the highest rating of 5.

Our Fertility Assessment
Our fertility assessment consists of various tests and a consultation with a specialist to determine the next steps. We cater to women, men, and couples, with personalized packages that suit your situation. Completing all tests typically requires two visits to the clinic. You don’t need a referral to book an assessment.
Understanding Fertility Treatments
Your assessment will help identify any fertility issues, allowing our specialists to recommend suitable treatment options. We provide a personalized treatment plan based on your history and concerns, along with a timeline to help you organize the upcoming weeks.
We offer a full range of treatments, including IVF and ICSI, as well as options for LGBT+ families, such as insemination and advice on surrogacy. For those considering future family planning, fertility preservation options like egg and sperm freezing are also available.
