First Visit

Our physicians typically perform three tests when a couple schedules an initial consultation. For the female partner a blood test can determine whether hormones are in the correct balance and an examination of the pelvic cavity can determine whether there are any physical impediments to fertility. For the male partner, a semen analysis can show whether there are issues with sperm. We will also review each partner’s medical, surgical and family history and answer any questions you may have.

Our standard tests for diagnosing infertility include the following:

Cycle day 3 blood tests for the female partner.
Cycle day three blood tests are performed on the third day of the female's menstrual cycle. This allows us to analyze the hormones that affect female fertility.
Evaluation of the uterine cavity (HSG) on the female partner (sonohysterogram)
The evaluation of the uterine cavity allows us to identify any possible uterine or tubal problems.
Semen analysis for the male partner.
The semen analysis indicates whether or not male factor infertility is playing a role in the couple's infertility.
