What Tests Are Included in a Fertility Assessment?
A typical fertility assessment includes hormone tests (such as SHBG, FSH, LH, and TSH), AMH testing to assess ovarian reserve, thyroid function tests, and semen analysis for men. If further evaluation is needed, additional tests such as ultrasounds and other advanced assessments may be recommended to provide a comprehensive view of reproductive health.

When Should Couples Consider Fertility Testing?
Couples under 35 who haven’t conceived after a year, or those over 35 trying for six months, should consider fertility testing. Early testing is also recommended for individuals with specific concerns, like irregular cycles, past pelvic infections, or recurrent miscarriages. Even if there’s no immediate concern, couples who want to understand their reproductive health can also benefit from a fertility test, as it provides valuable insights for future family planning decisions.
How Does Lifestyle Affect Fertility?
Lifestyle factors, including stress, smoking, alcohol, and body weight, can significantly impact fertility. Positive changes in diet, exercise, and stress levels may improve fertility outcomes.
How Long Does It Take to Get Fertility Test Results?
At our clinic, fertility test results are typically available within 1 to 5 working days, depending on the specific tests conducted. Once your results are ready, we’ll schedule a consultation to discuss the findings, answer any questions, and guide you on the next steps toward your family planning goals.
Is Fertility Testing Painful or Invasive?
Most fertility tests, such as blood tests and semen analysis, are non-invasive and painless. Some, like ultrasounds or HSG, may cause mild discomfort but are safe and generally well-tolerated.
Can Both Partners Be Tested Together?
Yes, both partners can undergo fertility testing simultaneously, providing a complete view of their reproductive health. This combined approach often yields the best insights into potential fertility challenges.
What Happens if a Fertility Issue Is Found?
Our clinic offers a range of essential fertility tests to help couples understand their reproductive health. If any concerns are detected in the initial tests, we’ll provide you with guidance on the next steps and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist for more advanced testing or treatment options. This ensures you receive the most suitable support for your family planning journey.
