  • I’ve visited Flowan a few times over the last few years for various reasons and every time the service and care is outstanding. There are clinics much closer to me I could opt for but travel out of my way to Flowan simply for the service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about pre-conception health screening and family planning services.

  • When should I have pre-conception testing?

    Ideally 3-6 months before you start trying to conceive. This gives you time to understand your carrier status, optimize fertility hormones, identify your ovulation patterns, and address any health concerns before pregnancy. Pre-conception planning enables the healthiest start for your future baby.

  • What is carrier screening and do I need it?

    Carrier screening tests whether you carry genetic variants for inherited conditions that could be passed to your baby. Even if you’re healthy, you may be a carrier. If both parents carry the same condition, there’s a 25% chance your baby could be affected. Horizon carrier screening tests 174+ conditions, providing comprehensive information before conception to support informed family planning decisions.

  • How does follicle tracking help me conceive?

    Follicle tracking uses ultrasound to monitor your ovarian follicle development throughout your cycle. This identifies your exact fertile window and confirms ovulation timing, helping you optimize timing for conception. It’s especially helpful if you have irregular cycles, are using fertility treatment, or have been trying unsuccessfully for several months.

  • Do I need a referral for these tests?

    No. All our family planning services are available directly to you without a GP referral. You can book carrier screening, hormone testing, or follicle tracking whenever you’re ready to start planning your pregnancy. Results can be discussed with your GP or fertility specialist.

  • How long do test results take?

    Hormone test results (Female Hormone Profile) are typically available within 3-5 working days. Carrier screening results take 2-3 weeks as the comprehensive genetic analysis requires specialized laboratory processing. Follicle tracking provides immediate visual assessment during each scan appointment.

  • Can my partner have testing too?

    Yes. If you’re found to be a carrier of a genetic condition, we can arrange carrier screening for your partner to assess whether they carry the same condition. On request, we can also offer Well Man profiles and Male Hormone testing if your partner wants to optimize his fertility health before conception: please enquire with the clinic.
