Fertility assessment in Stockholm: costs, tests and waiting times

When a hoped-for pregnancy does not happen, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Many people find themselves asking the same questions: Why isn’t it happening? Is there something wrong? A fertility assessment is often the first step toward answers and toward regaining a sense of direction in your journey towards parenthood.

At Ovumia Stockholm, we understand that time is valuable. A fertility assessment is designed to provide a clear, medically sound overview of your reproductive health, without unnecessary waiting.

When should you consider a fertility assessment?

From a medical perspective, a fertility assessment is usually recommended if pregnancy has not occurred after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. From a psychological perspective, it can be helpful to seek a fertility assessment as soon as uncertainty or worry begins to affect your wellbeing, as early clarity often reduces stress and upports emotional resilience. 

An earlier fertility assessment may also be appropriate if:

• The woman is 35 years of age or older, as ovarian reserve and egg quality naturally decline with age
• Menstrual cycles are irregular or absent, which may indicate ovulation-related conditions such as PCOS
• There is a known history of endometriosis, previous pelvic infections, or testicular conditions
• You are a single woman or a female couple planning treatment with donor sperm

In these situations, an early assessment can help clarify your fertility status and support timely, informed decisions.

Fertility assessment waiting times in Stockholm: public vs. private

In Stockholm, waiting times for a fertility assessment within the public healthcare system can be long. Depending on regional capacity and demand, it may take several months to receive an initial appointment, followed by additional waiting time for test results and follow-up.

At Ovumia Stockholm, private fertility assessments are available without waiting lists. A first visit can usually be booked within days. Receiving answers sooner often brings reassurance and allows any next steps such as IVF or insemination to be planned while biological conditions are as favourable as possible.

What does a fertility assessment involve?

A fertility assessment at Ovumia is individualised and focused on gaining a clear understanding of reproductive health.

The assessment typically includes:

• For women: A gynecological ultrasound, blood tests and if needed, an examination of the fallopian tubes.
• For men: A comprehensive semen analysis to evaluate concentration and total sperm count, motility and volume.
• Medical consultation: A review of your medical history and test results with a doctor, concluding with a personalized treatment recommendation.

Frequently asked questions about fertility assessment

Does a fertility assessment hurt? No. The gynecological ultrasound is performed transvaginally and is generally not painful. Blood tests are routine, and semen samples are collected in a private, calm environment at the clinic.
Canpublic funding be used later? Yes. If you choose to complete your fertility assessment privately and are found to meet the criteria for region-funded IVF, Ovumia can guide you through the next steps within the public healthcare system.
