Medical history
Both partners are asked if they have any medicine or had any illnesses, past pregnancies, use of tobacco, alcohol or drugs, methods of birth control, how long they have been trying to get pregnant and more.
Tests for men
Semen analysis and blood tests are done to assess the sperm and measure male reproductive potential. In some cases, an ultrasound is also done to check if there are any issues in the testicles.
Tests for women
Blood and urine tests are conducted to see progesterone levels, thyroid function, prolactin level and ovarian reserve.
Imaging tests for women
To see the health of the reproductive organ, ultrasound, sonohysterography, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy may be conducted.
Benefit
Infertility tests also allows to treat at the same time. For example, a blocked fallopian tube may be opened during a hysterosalpingogram/ hysteroscopy/ laparoscopy.
Once we know the real cause of infertility, an appropriate line of treatment can be taken.
Risk
Complicated procedures like hysteroscopy or laparoscopy may post a problem later on.
