• Ovulation Assessment:

  • Tracking menstrual cycles to confirm regular ovulation or identify irregularities.
  • Blood tests to measure hormone levels (e.g., follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, progesterone) at specific times in the cycle to assess ovulatory function.

• Semen Analysis:

  • Examination of a semen sample to assess sperm count, motility, morphology, and other factors affecting sperm quality and function.

• Imaging Studies:

  • Transvaginal ultrasound to visualize the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, assessing for structural abnormalities or ovarian reserve.
  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG) or sonohysterography to evaluate the shape and patency of the uterus and fallopian tubes.

• Additional Tests:

  • Genetic testing to identify any hereditary conditions impacting fertility.
  • Endometrial biopsy to assess the uterine lining for receptivity.
  • Post-coital test to evaluate sperm survival and movement in cervical mucus.

Benefits:

• Identifies Causes: Helps pinpoint specific factors contributing to infertility, guiding appropriate treatment.
• Tailored Approach: Allows for personalized treatment plans based on the individual needs of each couple.
• Early Detection: May uncover underlying conditions that could impact fertility, allowing for timely intervention.

Fertility evaluation is a crucial step in the journey towards conception, providing valuable insights and guidance for couples struggling to achieve pregnancy. It empowers individuals with knowledge about their reproductive health and enables them to make informed decisions regarding fertility treatments.
