What are fertility tests?

Fertility tests are a group of blood tests and assessments used to evaluate reproductive health. For women, these typically measure hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), oestradiol, and thyroid function. For men, testing may include a hormone panel and, where indicated, a semen analysis referral. Results can help identify factors that may affect your ability to conceive and guide decisions about treatment or timing. While fertility tests can't guarantee pregnancy outcomes, they provide valuable insights to help you plan your journey.


What is included in a fertility blood test?

A fertility blood test typically measures hormone levels that affect reproduction. For women, this may include FSH, LH, AMH, oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin, and thyroid hormones. For men, testosterone and other hormones may be tested. Your doctor will recommend specific tests based on your age, health history, and concerns. You can complete your fertility blood test at any standard pathology collection centre after receiving your request.

Can I get a fertility check online?

Yes. Through InstantScripts, you can have a fertility check online with a qualified doctor about your reproductive health concerns. If testing is clinically appropriate, your doctor can send a blood test request directly to you. You then visit a pathology centre at a time that suits you. Results are typically available within a few business days, and you can book a follow-up consultation to discuss them.

How much do fertility tests cost through InstantScripts?

The consultation fee is paid privately as InstantScripts does not offer Medicare bulk-billed telehealth appointments. However, many of the blood tests your doctor requests may be covered by Medicare when performed at a pathology lab. View current pricing for consultations on the InstantScripts website.

When should I consider fertility testing?

There's no single 'right' time for fertility tests. Some people request testing when they are planning to conceive, while others want a general understanding of their reproductive health. Your doctor may recommend testing if you have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success (or six months if you are over 35), have irregular menstrual cycles, or have a known medical condition that can affect fertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Are fertility tests available for men?

Yes. InstantScripts doctors can order hormone blood tests for men and, where appropriate, provide referrals for semen analysis. Male fertility assessments typically look at testosterone levels and other hormones that affect sperm production. If results suggest a need for further investigation, your doctor can refer you to a specialist.

Can I get a fertility test if I'm not trying to conceive yet?

Absolutely. Many people request a fertility health check to understand their baseline reproductive health before they are ready to start a family. This can be especially helpful if you are considering delaying pregnancy, have a family history of fertility difficulties, or simply want more information. Your doctor can guide you on which tests are most relevant for your situation.

Do I need a referral to get fertility tests?

You do not need a referral from another doctor to request a consultation through InstantScripts. During your telehealth consultation, your doctor will assess whether blood tests or a specialist referral are appropriate. If you do need to see a fertility specialist, your InstantScripts doctor can provide that referral as part of the same appointment.
