Fertility assessment cost, country by country.
What a fertility assessment really costs at home and abroad, what is usually included, and why the test is the cheap part of the journey. We never name a clinic.

Is it worth going abroad?
A fertility assessment is a set of relatively inexpensive checks. In the UK privately a single test such as an AMH blood test is often about £90, a pelvic ultrasound scan about £190 to £210, and a semen analysis about £125 to £150, while a bundled assessment or fertility MOT commonly runs about £200 to £450 depending on what is included. Abroad the same checks are frequently quoted at a low price and are sometimes folded into a treatment consultation. Because the assessment is the cheap part, the saving on it alone is small, and the more important question is the cost of any treatment that follows.

The price, honestly.
A fertility assessment typically combines hormone blood tests, an ultrasound scan, a semen analysis, and a consultation to interpret the results. The price reflects which of these are included and whether a specialist reviews them with you.

UK figures are indicative examples from published private price lists in 2025 and 2026. Prices abroad vary by clinic and country, and an assessment is sometimes discounted or included with a treatment consultation, so we do not quote a single overseas figure.
Why two quotes differ.
Two assessment quotes can differ for honest reasons. Knowing what moves the price helps you compare fairly.
A basic check may be one hormone test, while a fuller panel adds several hormones, an ultrasound scan, and a semen analysis. The more that is included, the higher the price.
A test result on its own means little. A price that includes time with a specialist to interpret the findings is worth more than a cheaper one that just emails you numbers.
Many assessments cover one partner. Testing both partners costs more but gives a fuller picture, since fertility involves both.
A very cheap or free assessment can be a route into a treatment plan. That is not wrong, but read the result on its own merits and do not feel committed to anything further.
Cheaper is not the same as worse.
Lower prices abroad reflect cost of living and competition, not a different test. The catch is what happens to the results afterwards.
The blood tests, scans, and semen analysis used in a fertility assessment are broadly standard the world over. Clinics abroad pay less for staff and premises, and an assessment is often offered cheaply to start a conversation, so a low price is not a sign of a poor test.
The value of an assessment lies in how the results are read. A figure such as an AMH level needs careful interpretation against your age and history, so look for a price that includes a proper consultation rather than just a printout.
An assessment carries little physical risk, but it can carry an emotional one. Results may be unexpected or hard to hear, and a calm, qualified discussion matters more than a fast or cheap turnaround.
The catch abroad is continuity. If your results point towards treatment, plan how your records, scans, and any follow up will join up with care at home before you commit to anything beyond the assessment.
The test is cheap. The decision it leads to is not.
A fertility assessment is one of the most affordable steps you can take, at home or abroad, and a low price for the checks themselves is not a warning sign. The thing to watch is what the assessment is for. A cheap or free check can be designed to move you quickly into a costly treatment plan. Insist on knowing exactly which tests are included, that a qualified specialist will interpret them with you, and that you are under no obligation to go further. Treat any promise of a guaranteed outcome from a single set of results with deep suspicion, because no honest clinic can make one.

The things everyone asks.
What is in a fertility assessment?
It usually combines hormone blood tests such as AMH, a pelvic ultrasound scan, a semen analysis, and a consultation to interpret the results. Exactly what is included varies, so ask before you book.
Is it cheaper abroad?
Often a little, but the assessment is inexpensive everywhere, so the saving on it alone is small. The bigger cost question is any treatment the results lead to. Compare the full pathway, not just the test.
Why are some assessments free?
A free or very cheap check is sometimes a route into a treatment plan. That is not necessarily a problem, but read the result on its own merits and remember you are under no obligation to go further.
Should both partners be tested?
Where relevant, testing both partners gives a fuller picture, since fertility involves both. It costs more but can save time and money by pointing to the right next step sooner.
Can an assessment predict if I will conceive?
No. It gives useful information about your current situation but cannot guarantee an outcome. Be wary of any service that promises certainty from a single set of results.
