For some, genetic testing can add extra insight into embryo health and improve IVF outcomes.

PGT-A screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities, helping identify those most likely to develop into a healthy pregnancy.

By transferring only genetically normal (euploid) embryos, we can:

- Reduce the time to pregnancy: PGT-A helps select embryos with the highest chance of success from the outset, avoiding multiple embryo transfers with embryos that were not compatible with life

- Minimise emotional and physical strain: knowing that the embryos being transferred are chromosomally normal reduces the uncertainty and potential heartbreak associated with unsuccessful transfers or miscarriages

However, it’s important to manage expectations. While PGT-A can significantly increase the likelihood of a successful transfer, it does not guarantee a live birth.

Other factors, such as the uterine environment and overall health, also play a role in the success of IVF.

An internal ultrasound scan is one of the most insightful steps in your fertility assessment.

It allows your doctor to see your uterus and ovaries in detail, helping identify things like fibroids, PCOS or endometriosis that could affect your fertility.

We also use this scan to count the number of follicles in your ovaries, small sacs that can develop into eggs. Combined with your AMH results, it gives a clear picture of your fertility potential.

Sometimes, an ultrasound can even highlight issues that are easily treatable, meaning IVF may not be necessary immediately.

One of the most common tests before undergoing IVF is the AMH test, a simple blood test that measures your ovarian reserve (the number of remaining eggs).

Everyone’s AMH is different, but it naturally declines as we age. Your result helps your doctor understand how your ovaries are functioning and what kind of treatment or medication protocol might work best for you.

It’s not about comparison, it’s about information. Understanding your AMH helps you make informed decisions about fertility, whether you’re planning treatment now or for the future.

This small test gives powerful insight into your reproductive health.

Before IVF begins, everyone must complete mandatory blood screenings, a legal requirement set by the HFEA to keep you, your partner and your future baby safe.

These tests screen for:
🩸 Hepatitis B & C
🩸 HIV
🩸 Rubella
🩸 HTLV I+II

They’re quick, routine, and help ensure all fertility treatments are carried out safely and ethically.

Your clinic can check if any existing results you have still meet the requirements before you start treatment.

Every IVF journey is unique, which means your tests and treatment will be tailored accordingly.

These early investigations help us understand what might influence your fertility, and how we can give you the best possible chance of success.

From hormone levels and ovarian reserve, to s***m health and uterine structure, each test tells part of your story. Together, they help us create a treatment plan designed entirely around you.

Deciding to start IVF can feel like a huge step, and it’s natural to feel hopeful, anxious, or even relieved to finally have a plan.

Before treatment begins, your fertility team will run a series of tests to understand your reproductive health and create a personalised plan for your journey.

We asked fertility specialist Mr George Bakolas from The Evewell West London to explain the key tests that help guide IVF success, and what each one tells us about your fertility.

Knowledge brings confidence, and understanding each step can make your journey feel that little bit clearer.

Do all IVF clinics adhere to the same standards? No.

In IVF, success isn’t just about a positive pregnancy test; it’s about consistent, high-quality care at every stage of the process.

The Vienna Consensus, defined in 2017, established international standards for what constitutes competence versus benchmark in fertility labs, measuring aspects such as fertilisation, embryo development, and implantation.

At The Evewell, our 2025 results show that we perform at or above benchmark levels across key areas, including fertilisation, embryo development, cryosurvival, and implantation rates.

When choosing a clinic, ask about their KPIs, their results, and how they define success. helps explain why this is vital for you to understand.

Knowledge is power when it comes to your fertility journey.

The HFEA website makes it simple to compare clinic outcomes across the UK. Search for your clinic’s name, open its profile, and look for the “treatment outcomes” section.

Check two key figures: live birth rate per embryo transfer, and multiple birth rate.

Comparing both gives a fairer picture of safety and success. And always make sure you’re comparing similar patient ages and treatment years, too.
At The Evewell, we encourage every patient to check our data, it’s independently verified, transparent and reflects our ethical approach to care.

Knowledge builds confidence, check the data before you decide.

Always ask why a clinic recommends more than one embryo, and listen carefully to the answer.

Be cautious if a clinic routinely recommends transferring two embryos without clear reasoning. A multiple embryo transfer may be suggested to increase clinic success rates, but this may put yourself and future babies at risk.

Ethical clinics carefully assess your medical background, age and embryo quality before suggesting it.

They’ll also explain the associated risks and document the decision transparently. At The Evewell, we believe informed patients make empowered decisions and that means understanding not just what’s possible, but what’s safest for you and your baby.

In this video, Emma Whitney, Director of Genetics and Embryology at The Evewell (), explains why it’s absolutely vital to understand a clinic’s multiple birth rate, before starting treatment there.
