Core hormone and ovarian reserve tests
Before starting an IVF, ICSI or egg-freezing cycle, clinics assess ovarian reserve using Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) (£132.50, results in 2 days), which can be taken on any day of the cycle, alongside early follicular Day 2 to Day 5 Female Hormone Profile (£234.38) or our all-in Fertility Blood Test (£395). Thyroid optimisation with Full Thyroid Profile (FT3/FT4/TSH) (£163.13) is also standard before embryo transfer, as most fertility specialists target a TSH below 2.5 mIU/L.
Reproductive immunology and implantation panels
Following recurrent implantation failure (RIF) or recurrent miscarriage, UK and European reproductive immunologists often request specialised cellular, genetic and coagulation markers that high-street finger-prick services cannot process:
| Test Name | TDL Code | Price (+£50 Draw) | Typical Turnaround |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) | AMH | £132.50 | 2 days |
| KIR Genotyping (AA / AB / BB haplotype) | 17RF | £504.38 | 10 to 15 working days |
| CD25 (Activated Lymphocyte / IL-2R Subset) | CD25 | £118.13 | 2 to 3 days |
| Lupus Anticoagulant (Citrate Coagulation) | LUPC | £98.75 | 2 days |
| Thrombophilia Screen (Inherited & Acquired) | THRO | £987.50 | 5 days |
Timing rules for whole-blood immunology tests
Flow cytometry tests such as CD25 require fresh whole blood that reaches the laboratory on the same day and cannot be taken late on a Friday or over a bank holiday weekend. Genetic tests on EDTA whole blood such as KIR Genotyping are more stable, while coagulation assays in the Thrombophilia Screen must be spun promptly at the clinic. Booking a weekday morning slot at 117a Harley Street ensures same-day courier transfer to TDL.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bring a test list from a clinic in Spain, Greece or Prague?
Yes. Bring your clinic protocol or add the individual markers to your basket online. You receive the official UKAS-accredited TDL PDF report by email to forward directly to your coordinator.
Are you open on weekends for Day 2 or Day 3 cycle bloods?
Yes. We are open Monday to Friday 09:00 to 18:00 and Saturday and Sunday 10:00 to 14:00 so you never miss a cycle-day window for FSH, LH, oestradiol or progesterone.
Do I pay multiple blood-draw fees if my IVF clinic lists eight tests?
No. One £50 phlebotomy fee covers every blood test collected in the same appointment.
