Fertility Testing Options
If you're having trouble getting pregnant, fertility testing can help determine the underlying cause. Here are some common fertility testing options:
Semen analysis
A semen analysis is a test to evaluate the health and quality of sperm. It's typically the first step in male fertility testing.
Ovarian reserve testing
Ovarian reserve testing measures the quantity and quality of eggs in the ovaries. It can help determine whether there are any issues with egg production or quality.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG)
HSG is a test to evaluate the health and patency of the fallopian tubes. It involves injecting dye into the uterus and taking X-ray images to evaluate the flow of the dye through the tubes.
Hormone testing
Hormone testing can help evaluate the levels of hormones that are important for fertility, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone.
By undergoing fertility testing, you can determine the underlying cause of any fertility issues and develop a treatment plan.
