Test a and diagnosis of Female infertility

If you have been unable to conceive within a reasonable period of time, seek help from your doctor for evaluation and treatment of infertility.

Fertility tests may include:

Ovulation Test. A blood test for progesterone, a hormone produced after ovulation, can demonstrate that you are ovulating. You can also check at home. A kit of over-the-counter ovulation prediction - a test that you can do at home - detects the rise of luteinizing hormone (LH) which occurs before ovulation.

Hysterosalpingography. This test evaluates the size and shape of your uterus and see if the fallopian tubes are open. The fluid is injected into the uterus and an X-ray is taken to determine if the uterine cavity is normal and the fluid passes from the uterus and fallopian tubes in your file. If abnormalities are found, you may need further evaluation. In some women, the test itself can improve fertility, and possibly discover the opening of the fallopian tubes.

Laparoscopy. Usually done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, laparoscopy allows the physician to view the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus to check for endometriosis, scarring, blockages or irregularities. First, the doctor makes a small incision (8 to 10 mm) below the navel and inserts a needle into the abdominal cavity. A small amount of gas (carbon dioxide usually) is inserted into the abdomen to create space for the entry of the laparoscope - a lighted optical, fiber telescope. If you give your consent before surgery, your doctor can remove endometrial adhesions, treatment of scars or other problems with the use of sharp instruments, laser ablation during the procedure.

Ovarian reserve test. Women at risk of a reduced supply of eggs - including women over 35, those with autoimmune diseases and snuff - maybe this series of blood tests and imaging, performed on certain days of the menstrual cycle. These include blood tests for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) concentration of three days of their cycle, the clomiphene citrate challenge test (CCCT), which received five doses of clomiphene citrate ovarian stimulation drugs preceded and followed by a blood test to assess their level of ovarian estrogen ultrasound to determine the volume of the ovaries or the number of follicles, and blood tests to detect other markers of ovarian reserve.

Hormone tests. Proof of specific hormones such as FSH and prolactin, a doctor can determine if undiagnosed can interfere with fertility.
