Quick answer
What is a private fertility consultation?
A private fertility consultation is a medical assessment for people who are trying to conceive, planning pregnancy or concerned about possible infertility. At London Private Ultrasound, the appointment is GP-led and may include review of menstrual cycles, ovulation concerns, PCOS, previous pregnancy loss, male fertility factors, hormone issues, thyroid or metabolic health, previous investigations and next-step planning. Blood tests, ultrasound imaging, follow-up or onward referral may be recommended where clinically appropriate.

Clinical causes and contributors
What fertility challenges may be linked to
Fertility can be affected by several overlapping factors. A GP-led consultation helps bring the medical history, symptoms, lifestyle and previous investigations together.
Hormonal imbalanceThyroid, prolactin, ovarian, testosterone or metabolic factors.
Ovulation problemsIrregular or absent ovulation, including PCOS-related patterns.
Irregular cyclesLong, short, absent, heavy or unpredictable periods.
Male fertility factorsSemen quality, testicular history, hormonal symptoms or previous conditions.
Medical historyPrevious surgery, infection, medication or long-term health conditions.
Unexplained infertilityWhen initial causes are not obvious and a structured plan is needed.
Your consultation
What happens during your fertility appointment?
Your appointment is a face-to-face medical consultation focused on understanding your fertility health and choosing the most appropriate investigations or referrals.
Step 1History
Detailed medical and reproductive history
Your GP reviews your fertility concerns, menstrual cycle pattern, pregnancy history, previous tests, medication, medical conditions, lifestyle and relevant partner factors.
Step 2Assessment
Clinical explanation and risk-factor review
The consultation explores possible hormonal, ovulatory, male-factor, thyroid, metabolic, lifestyle or unexplained contributors in a clear and practical way.
Step 3Testing
Appropriate investigations where indicated
Your GP may recommend blood tests, hormone profiles, pelvic ultrasound, follicular tracking, testicular ultrasound or onward tests depending on your symptoms and history.
Step 4Plan
Clear next steps and onward referral if needed
You leave with a clear plan, including follow-up, lifestyle optimisation, further investigations or referral to fertility and reproductive medicine specialists where appropriate.
Investigations
Tests and scans that may support your fertility pathway
Testing is personalised. Not every patient needs every test. Your GP will advise based on your symptoms, cycle history, age, medical background and previous results.
Hormone blood tests
May include reproductive hormones, thyroid function, prolactin, ovarian reserve markers or metabolic blood tests where clinically appropriate.
Pelvic ultrasound
Can assess the uterus, ovaries, ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometrial lining and PCOS-type appearances.
Follicular tracking
Serial ultrasound assessment may help monitor follicle development and ovulation timing in selected fertility pathways.
Male fertility review
May include clinical assessment, blood tests, testicular ultrasound or referral for semen analysis where appropriate.
Clinical leadership
Led by Dr Babak Soleimanpour GP, MD, MRCGP, DRCOG
Fertility care should be clinically safe, realistic and personalised. The fertility clinic is delivered under GP-led medical oversight.
Dr Babak Soleimanpour
Medical Director · GP · MD · MRCGP · DRCOG · GMC 6060555
Dr Babak Soleimanpour provides clinical leadership for the fertility consultation pathway at London Private Ultrasound. His role is to assess possible medical contributors, explain results clearly and guide appropriate next steps.
The consultation may involve review of hormone-related symptoms, reproductive history, previous tests, cycle concerns, pregnancy planning, medical conditions and wider wellbeing.
Where specialist fertility treatment such as IVF is required, the clinic can support coordinated onward referral rather than offering one-size-fits-all fertility treatment.
Personalised pathway
What your fertility plan may include
Your plan is built around clinical suitability, safety and realistic next steps. The aim is to give you clarity, not unnecessary tests.
Medical optimisation
Guidance around general health, weight, stress, sleep, medication, thyroid or metabolic issues where these may affect fertility.
Targeted investigations
Blood tests, ultrasound scans and follow-up tests can be selected based on your individual history and clinical questions.
Referral and shared care
Where specialist fertility treatment is required, your GP can guide referral to reproductive medicine or fertility specialists.
