How to Approach Infertility Testing?

If you’ve been trying to conceive without success, infertility testing can help identify the cause and guide the right treatment.

When Should You Seek Testing?

• Under 35: Trying for 12 months without success

• 35 or older: Trying for 6 months

• Irregular periods, miscarriages, or known medical issues

Early evaluation improves treatment success.

Testing Involves Both Partners

Infertility affects both men and women. Testing usually includes:

For Women:

• Hormone blood tests

• Ovulation assessment

• Ultrasound scan

• Fallopian tube testing (HSG), if needed

For Men:

• Semen analysis (count, movement, shape)

• Hormonal tests (if required)

Not everyone needs all tests — your doctor will personalize them.

What Happens Next?

Once results are ready, your doctor will suggest a treatment plan, which may include:

• Lifestyle changes

• Medications

• IUI or IVF

• Surgical correction (if necessary)

Take the First Step

Infertility testing is about finding answers — not placing blame. The sooner you evaluate, the sooner you can move toward the right solution with confidence and clarity.
