Fertility Tests For Women

If your healthcare provider is unable to determine the cause of your infertility from initial fertility tests like routine blood work, he/she may suggest moving forward with more involved testing. Continuing with further tests may seem discouraging, but as a test is completed and conditions are ruled out you are one step closer to learning a diagnosis.

For women, further tests usually entail a closer examination of the reproductive anatomy such as the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The information in this section outlines common female-specific tests like endometrial biopsy, laparoscopy and transvaginal ultrasound. It is helpful to know as much as you can about these tests beforehand so you are mentally prepared for the procedures.
