Blood tests and examinations  

Fertility treatment requires some specific tests and examinations before we can start. Some are necessary by law, others are necessary in order to plan the most effective treatment for you. All tests can be taken at the clinic. It is also possible to have them done by your own doctor. The following tests are necessary at the start:   

• HIV 1 and 2: Anti-HIV-1/2 

• Hepatitis B: HBsAg (hepatitis B virus surface antigen) AND Anti-HBc (hepatitis B core antibody) 

• Hepatitis C: Anti-HCV-Ab 

• According to Danish legislation, the above samples must be analysed in a laboratory certified under the Tissue Act (in Copenhagen this is the blood bank at Rigshospitalet). Unfortunately, we are not authorised to treat you if you are infected with HIV, hepatitis B or C.   

• Chlamydia: Inoculation or urine test (must be max 6 months old) 

• Smear: Screening for cervical cell changes (must be max 3 years old) 

• AMH (anti-Müller hormone, which tells you about your egg reserve)  

• TPO and TSH measure your metabolism 

• Vitamin D 

• Rubella  

If you have a male partner whose sperm will be used for treatment, he must also have HIV and hepatitis B + C tests (see above).
