Male & Female Fertility Testing: Understanding the Basics
Fertility testing helps couples and individuals understand what may be affecting their ability to conceive. Testing usually looks at both partners, because fertility concerns can involve either one or both.
The results give you and your specialist a clearer picture, so any next steps are based on your own health rather than guesswork.
What Is Fertility Testing?
For women, testing may include blood tests to check hormone levels and ovarian reserve, an ultrasound to look at the uterus and ovaries, and in some cases a test to check whether the fallopian tubes are open.
For men, testing usually begins with a semen analysis, which looks at sperm count, movement and shape. Blood tests for hormone levels may also be recommended.
Who This May Be Right For
Fertility testing may be considered by couples who have been trying to conceive without success, by people planning ahead before starting a family, and by anyone considering fertility preservation or assisted reproduction such as IUI or IVF.
Your specialist will recommend the tests that suit your age, history and goals.
Understanding the Process
Fertility testing is carried out by qualified fertility specialists in accredited clinics. Most tests are simple, non-invasive and completed over a short visit, although some female tests are timed to specific days of the menstrual cycle.
Your specialist will explain each test, what the results mean, and the options available to you.
