Approximately one third of infertile couples, no specific cause can not be found (unexplained infertility).

The tests for men
So that the man is fertile, the testicles must produce enough healthy sperm, and semen is ejaculated effectively into the woman's vagina. Tests of male infertility, trying to find out if these processes are altered.
General physical examination. This includes the examination of the genitals and questions about medical history of disease and disability, drugs and sexual habits.
Semen analysis. This is a very important test for her boyfriend. Your doctor may request one or more of the semen samples. Sperm is usually obtained by masturbation or interruption of sexual intercourse and ejaculation of semen into a clean container. Laboratory analysis of a sample of semen volume, color, and infections or bleeding.

Scrotal and transrectal ultrasonography. Ultrasound can help your doctor to explain the conditions, such as premature ejaculation and obstruction back.
Tests for women
For a woman is fertile, the ovaries must release healthy eggs regularly, and the reproductive system must allow the eggs and sperm to pass into the fallopian tubes to be fertilized by sperm. Her reproductive organs must be healthy and functional.
When a doctor asks questions about health history, menstrual cycle and sexual habits, you are a general physical examination. This includes a regular gynecological exam. Fertility tests may include:
Ovulation tests. A blood test is sometimes performed to measure hormone levels to determine if you are ovulating.
Hysterosalpingography. This test evaluates the condition in the uterus and fallopian tubes. Fluid is injected into the uterus, and the X-ray is taken, if the cavity is normal and will ensure that the fluid goes through the fallopian tubes. Jam or problems can often be localized and can be corrected surgically.
Laparoscopy. It is performed under general anesthesia, this procedure involves making a small incision (8 to 10 mm) below the navel and inserting a thin viewing device to examine the fallopian tubes, ovaries and uterus.
The most common problems faced by laparoscopy are endometriosis and scarring. Your doctor can also detect blockages or irregularities of the fallopian tubes and uterus. Laparoscopy is usually done in an outpatient basis.
Hormonal tests. Hormonal tests can be done to control the level of hormones of ovulation, thyroid and pituitary hormones.
Ovarian reserve tests. Testing can be done to determine the potential effectiveness of eggs after ovulation. This approach typically begins with hormone testing early in the menstrual cycle of women.
Genetic testing. Genetic testing can be done, if there is a genetic defect that causes infertility.
