The first step towards understanding your reproductive health
About the campaign
What is First Step?
First Step is an Adella Fertility Clinic campaign for women and couples who want to learn more about their reproductive health. We have created two packages that combine a consultation with a fertility specialist and fertility tests.
During your consultation, you can ask questions, discuss your medical history and share any previous test results. Your specialist will explain what the tests can tell you and help you understand the possible next steps.
To make it easier to find time for your visit, we also offer consultation appointments after work. When you book, our team will explain the available times and how the tests are organised.
First Step for Women
It includes:
- Fertility specialist consultation;
- Transvaginal ultrasound;
- Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test.
First Step for Couples
It includes:
- Fertility specialist consultation;
- Transvaginal ultrasound;
- Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test;
- Semen analysis;
- Halosperm test for sperm DNA fragmentation.
Who is First Step for?
For women and couples who are planning a pregnancy or have questions about their reproductive health.
-
If you are thinking about starting a family, a consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss your health and ask any questions you may have. Your specialist will help you decide which tests are appropriate for you.
-
If pregnancy is taking longer than expected, a consultation can help you understand when to seek further advice and which tests may be appropriate. Your specialist will consider your age, how long you have been trying and your medical history.
-
An irregular menstrual cycle, endometriosis, previous surgery or another health condition may raise questions about your future plans. A consultation gives you time to discuss these concerns and receive individual guidance.
-
When planning a pregnancy together, it can be helpful to consider the reproductive health of both partners. The couples package includes tests for both the woman and the man.
Consultations after work
Make time for your reproductive health
Contact us to check the available days and times. When you book, our team will also explain how the tests are organised, as their availability depends on the laboratory schedule.
Tests for women
What can the ultrasound and AMH test tell you?
The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test provides information about ovarian reserve. The result is considered alongside your age, medical history and the findings from your examination.
AMH alone does not indicate egg quality and cannot predict whether or when a natural pregnancy will occur. Your specialist will help you understand what the result means in your individual situation.
Tests for men
What is included in the male partner’s assessment?
It also includes a Halosperm test for sperm DNA fragmentation, which provides additional information about the integrity of sperm DNA. It does not replace a semen analysis, and the result is interpreted by a specialist alongside your medical history and other test results.
When assessing a couple’s reproductive health, we consider information from both partners to discuss the most appropriate next steps.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
-
Yes. First Step offers consultation appointments after standard working hours. Contact our team to check the available days and times.
-
Test availability depends on the laboratory schedule. When you book, our team will explain the available times and whether any of the tests need to be scheduled separately.
-
Yes. A semen analysis requires some preparation, including a period of abstinence before providing the sample. Our team will give you detailed instructions when you book.
-
No. AMH provides information about ovarian reserve, but it does not show egg quality and cannot on its own predict whether a natural pregnancy will occur. Your result should be discussed with a specialist.
-
When possible, attending the consultation together helps us discuss both partners’ medical histories. However, the tests may be scheduled separately depending on appointment availability and the laboratory schedule.
-
If the woman is under 35, a consultation is generally recommended after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse. For women aged 35 and over, an assessment is recommended after 6 months.
It is appropriate to seek advice earlier if there is an irregular menstrual cycle, endometriosis, previous surgery, a known male factor or another relevant risk factor.

Thank you to the entire team at Adella Clinic for their professionalism and incredible personal care. I first visited the clinic during my journey to becoming pregnant, continued to have my pregnancy monitored there, and gave birth under the care of Dr Makedonova.
Throughout the entire experience, I received exceptional attention, care and support. Every visit was a pleasure – from the smiles and assistance at reception to the dedication and professionalism of the whole medical team. I always felt calm, understood and in safe hands.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I highly recommend Adella Clinic to anyone looking for a high standard of medical care combined with a warm and personal approach.
The clinic is wonderful! The team is made up of professionals who truly know what they are doing. We have our little miracle thanks to Dr Makedonova, and I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life! The nurses are always smiling and helpful, as are the ladies at reception.
