Private Fertility & Follicle
Tracking Scan

Benefit from detailed knowledge about your follicle count for peace of
mind and use in fertility planning.

What to expect from your private fertility scan

When trying to conceive, there are so many factors at play. Your menstrual cycle, follicle count, and ovulation timing can all have an impact, but many women are uncertain on how these affect them.

With our private fertility scan, you can gain deep insight into how your body responds to your menstrual cycle, and speak with our experienced sonographers about what this means for conception. Carried out in our welcoming Colchester clinic, this follicle tracking scan will provide you with information and reassurance that can help along the journey to pregnancy.

The baseline scan is carried out between days 2 and 5 of your cycle, with follow-up cycle monitoring scans available at a discounted price. Learn more about your body and leave with the confidence you need to conceive.
SCHEDULE YOUR VISIT

What will your appointment include?

If you’re trying to conceive, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and disheartened by the number of factors that can affect your pregnancy journey. Our private fertility scan is designed to give women the confidence they need to plan ahead, with detailed insight into your follicle count and ovarian cycle that have a direct impact on your chance of conception.

As part of your appointment with us, you’ll receive:
  • A detailed report: We carry out a transvaginal ultrasound (or transabdominal, if preferred) and assess your Antral Follicle Count (AFC), uterus, and endometrial thickness. All of this information will be emailed to you in a clear, comprehensive report, which is particularly useful if you’re seeking fertility treatment abroad and need a UK-based test beforehand.
  • Empathetic, considerate support: All of our sonographers have decades of experience helping women through their fertility journey. We understand how stressful this can sometimes be, and we’re on hand to answer any questions that you may have during your appointment.
  • Follow-up appointments: We’ll conduct your baseline private fertility scan between days 2 and 5 of your cycle, and we then offer up to 3 cycle monitoring scans at a discounted cost (£95) during the same menstrual cycle. This helps your fertility planning, and these sessions can be arranged after your initial visit with us.

Our first time visiting Little Peek, and we will definitely be returning for another reassurance scan later on! Such a lovely, calm atmosphere, staff lovely and friendly. Felt very welcomed. Emma was honestly so lovely and amazing, so reassuring during this scan at our 19 weeks of pregnancy, after a few concerns over the weekend that were clarified medically in other ways, but not visually. It was wonderful to see our baby girl again, happy & healthy, full of beans! Thank you so much for explaining everything to us in great detail, we honestly left feeling so happy & relaxed!

The little peek baby ultrasound team were amazing from the warm and friendly receptionist to our wonderful sonographer Emma. Emma was so friendly, reassuring and thorough. She provided me with information I didn’t know prior to the scan and gave me peace of mind. I absolutely could not recommend them more, wonderful experience.

Me and my partner are over the moon that we chose Little Peek for our baby scans. The service right from the front desk set a lovely, welcoming and calm environment which continued in the scan room. Emma was extremely patient and listened to every single worry I had about this pregnancy due to past experiences. I was reassured lots and Emma made sure she communicated through every step she was doing. Our appointments never felt rushed and to have someone so professional yet so connected to her clients needs and worries is an experience I never thought I’d be able to get. I cannot recommend Little Peek enough, especially Emma, as she made both scans feel very special❤️

This is my second visit to Little Peek Baby Ultrasound and again I am beyond happy with the service provided. Everything was explained thoroughly in detail before the scan took place. The lady that greeted us at reception was really kind and welcoming. Emma who performed the scan never disappoints. She makes the scan feel super special just now it should, and explains everything that is going on. I would recommend Little Peek to anyone who is looking for early reassurance scans, gender scans, or simply just to see their baby more often than the 2 scans offered by the NHS. Extremely reasonable prices with a very calm, warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you so much Emma and team, you're all wonderful!

FAQ's

A follicle scan is a transvaginal ultrasound that monitors the development of ovarian follicles during your menstrual cycle. It helps track ovulation timing and assess fertility potential, which can be useful for conception planning or fertility treatments such as IVF. This scan can be performed as a one-off for fertility planning or part of a cycle to track the ovulation window.

Absolutely, many of our clients plan on seeking fertility treatment in various European countries, where IVF is typically more affordable than the UK. To make sure that you give yourself the best timeframe for conception, we provide follicle tracking scans that come with a detailed report which can be sent to your international care provider.

The frequency of scans depends on your cycle and fertility goals. Typically, scans are performed every few days during the fertile window to monitor follicle growth. Our qualified NHS-trained sonographers will guide you on the most appropriate schedule.

Yes. By providing accurate information about ovulation timing and follicle development, follicle scans can help you and your fertility team optimise the best time for conception or fertility treatment.
