Fertility tests for women:
I Common Fertility Tests for Women
Hormone Tests: Hormone tests measure the levels of various hormones in your blood, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone. These hormones play a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and ovulation. By analyzing hormone levels, doctors can identify potential hormonal imbalances that may be affecting fertility.
Ovulation Prediction Kit (OPK): OPKs are over-the-counter tests that detect the surge in LH hormone, which typically occurs just before ovulation. Using OPKs can help you identify your fertile window and time intercourse accordingly.
Ultrasound: Ultrasound scans are used to visualize the reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. They can help identify abnormalities such as cysts, fibroids, or blocked fallopian tubes that may be affecting fertility.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): An HSG is a specialized X-ray procedure that involves injecting dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes. This test can help identify blockages or abnormalities in the fallopian tubes that may be preventing fertilization.
Hysteroscopy: A hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the uterus using a small camera. It can help diagnose conditions such as uterine polyps or fibroids that may be affecting fertility.
ii Genetic Tests for Identifying Potential Fertility Issues
Genetic testing can help identify genetic factors that may be affecting fertility. These tests can be particularly helpful for couples with a history of recurrent miscarriages or infertility. Some common genetic tests for fertility include:
Carrier Screening: This test identifies individuals who carry genetic mutations that could be passed on to their children, potentially causing fertility problems or genetic disorders.
Chromosomal Analysis: This test analyzes chromosomes to identify abnormalities that may affect fertility, such as chromosomal translocations or deletions.
iv Diagnostic Tests for Assessing Egg Quality and Reserve
Egg quality and ovarian reserve are crucial factors in fertility. Several tests can help assess these factors:
Antral Follicle Count (AFC): An AFC is a type of ultrasound that counts the number of antral follicles in the ovaries. A lower AFC may indicate diminished ovarian reserve.
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH): AMH is a hormone produced by the cells that surround developing eggs. It provides information about the number and quality of remaining eggs.
