When a couple has been unsuccessful at achieving pregnancy after one year, both partners need to go through a comprehensive physical and medical assessment. Fertility test for women and a semen analysis should start immediately. \u00a0Because male factors account for approximately 50% of all infertility cases<\/strong>,\u00a0it is important to examine both partners for possible infertility<\/a> issues.<\/p>\n At-home semen analysis kits are available to help encourage male fertility testing<\/a>. \u00a0The option of at-home kits allows men to be more comfortable with testing\u00a0in the privacy of their own home.<\/p>\n The first step in diagnosing female fertility is a comprehensive appointment with your fertility physician.

Areas such as your thyroid, breasts, and hair growth will be looked at. A pelvic exam is also an important part of female fertility testing, along with a pap smear<\/a>.<\/p>\n After this first appointment, your physician may want to proceed with some\u00a0initial testing.

This will provide your reproductive specialists with valuable\u00a0information about your ovulation. Usually one of the first questions regarding\u00a0female fertility is whether you are ovulating or not.<\/p>\n Ovulation evaluation may be broken down into types:<\/strong><\/p>\n These hormone tests include the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n The following tests are also commonly used in the first evaluated cycle:<\/strong><\/p>\n If both the semen analysis and the above testing return normal results,\u00a0there is also additional testing that your fertility specialists may recommend.
