Tests with GP before fertility clinic appt

[Emmyeve]

Excuse my ignorance but what do these tests involve? Are the blood tests or swab tests? Thank you in advance.

Top one is swabs (was for me anyway) and the rest are blood tests x

[Emmyeve in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for your response, really appreciate it. When you say swab, is it like a smear type device or just swab up there?

[Hidden in reply to Emmyeve]

I can’t quite remember but I’m pretty sure it was just like a smear x

Yes mine was like a smear too x

They are asking for serum chlamydia which is a blood test- although often a vaginal swab is done for that - I am a GP. I assume you are seeing the clinic privately? If so I would check with them if they will accept a swab, otherwise you might have to pay privately for that test if it is not one routinely done in your area on the NHS.

Good luck

Thank you for the response. No it’s not private. It’s NHS. So will it be a swab or blood test?

[SBeanbag in reply to Emmyeve]

Blood test then .... will all be done in one sitting!
