If you’ve been trying to conceive without success, or you simply want a clearer understanding of your reproductive health, fertility testing is often the first meaningful step.

For others, it provides answers. Either way, it replaces uncertainty with a plan.

Fertility Testing for Women

Female fertility testing focuses on evaluating ovarian reserve, hormone levels, reproductive anatomy, and overall cycle health. Depending on your history and goals, your physician may recommend:

  • Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Testing: A blood test that helps estimate ovarian reserve (the remaining number of eggs). While AMH provides information about egg quantity, it does not measure egg quality or predict the ability to conceive naturally.
  • Transvaginal Ultrasound: Imaging used to assess the ovaries, antral follicle count, and uterine structure.
  • Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): An imaging test that evaluates whether the fallopian tubes are open and the uterine cavity is normal.
  • Hormone Testing (FSH, LH, Estradiol, Progesterone, Thyroid): Bloodwork that evaluates ovulation patterns and hormonal balance. Hormone testing may include FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, thyroid function (typically TSH), and sometimes prolactin.
  • Saline Sonogram (Sonohysterogram): A specialized ultrasound used to assess the uterine cavity for uterine abnormalities such as polyps or fibroids.

Fertility Testing for Men

Male fertility testing is equally important and often straightforward. Because male factors contribute to infertility in a significant percentage of cases, a semen evaluation is typically one of the first steps.

Testing may include:

  • Semen Analysis: Evaluates sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and overall semen quality.
  • Hormone Testing: Assesses testosterone and other hormones that influence sperm production.
  • Physical Examination: Evaluates for conditions such as varicocele or structural concerns.
  • Genetic Testing (when indicated): Recommended in certain cases of low sperm count or azoospermia.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing plays an important role in modern fertility care. It can help identify inherited conditions, reduce the risk of passing on certain genetic disorders, and improve embryo selection during IVF.

IVFMD offers preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), including:

  • PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy): Screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities to help inform embryo selection during IVF
  • PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders): Tests embryos for specific inherited genetic conditions.
  • PGT-SR (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements): Screens embryos for chromosome changes, such as missing, extra, or rearranged genetic material, that may affect embryo development or pregnancy.

Genetic screening may also include carrier screening before treatment begins. To learn more, visit our Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) page.

Your Fertility Evaluation: What to Expect

Your first fertility visit is focused on understanding your unique situation and building a personalized plan. Here’s what you can expect:

  • A detailed review of your medical, surgical, and reproductive history
  • A discussion about how long you’ve been trying to conceive and your future goals
  • Review of menstrual cycle patterns or prior testing (if applicable)
  • Physical exam and/or ultrasound (when indicated)
  • Semen analysis (for male partners, if needed)
  • Bloodwork to evaluate hormone levels and overall reproductive health
  • A clear explanation of findings and recommended next steps

To prepare for your appointment, we recommend:

  • Bringing copies of any prior fertility testing or medical records
  • Tracking recent menstrual cycles (if applicable)
  • Listing medications, supplements, and relevant health conditions
  • Preparing questions about your goals, timeline, or treatment options

Most importantly, your evaluation is collaborative. It is designed to gather information, provide clarity, and help you move forward with confidence, whether that means timed intercourse, fertility preservation, IUI, IVF, or another approach.

Understanding Fertility Testing Costs

The cost of fertility testing varies depending on the specific tests recommended and whether both partners are being evaluated. Some basic diagnostic testing may be covered by insurance, while other services may be subject to deductibles or out-of-pocket costs.

Our team will review your insurance benefits and provide clear guidance about expected costs before moving forward. We also offer resources to help patients understand financing options and insurance coverage.

Fertility Testing FAQs

  • Fertility testing refers to a series of diagnostic evaluations designed to assess reproductive health in women and men. These tests may evaluate hormone levels, ovarian reserve, sperm health, fallopian tube function, uterine anatomy, and genetic factors. The goal is to identify any underlying conditions that could affect conception and to guide personalized treatment recommendations. Fertility testing provides clarity and helps patients move forward with a clear plan.

  • In general, couples under age 35 are advised to seek evaluation after one year of trying to conceive without success. Those over 35 should consider testing after six months. However, earlier evaluation may be recommended for individuals with irregular cycles, known reproductive conditions, recurrent pregnancy loss, or a history of medical treatments that could impact fertility. Anyone planning fertility preservation may also benefit from early testing.

  • A fertility evaluation typically includes a review of medical history, hormone testing, imaging studies such as an ultrasound, and semen analysis if applicable. Women may undergo ovarian reserve testing and assessment of the fallopian tubes, while men often complete a semen analysis and hormone panel. The exact tests depend on individual circumstances, and your physician will tailor the evaluation to your specific needs.

  • Some components of fertility testing, such as bloodwork and semen analysis, can be completed quickly. Other tests may need to be scheduled at specific times during the menstrual cycle. In many cases, the full evaluation process takes a few weeks from start to finish. Once results are available, your physician will review them with you and discuss recommended next steps.

  • Preparation may include gathering prior medical records, tracking menstrual cycles, and listing medications or supplements. Men may be asked to abstain from ejaculation for a short period before a semen analysis. Your care team will provide clear instructions before your appointment so you know exactly what to expect and how to prepare.

  • Insurance coverage varies depending on your plan and state regulations. Some diagnostic fertility testing may be covered, while advanced testing or treatment may not be fully included. Our financial counselors can review your benefits and explain potential costs so you can make informed decisions before proceeding.

  • Yes. In fact, evaluating both partners at the same time is often recommended, as infertility can involve female factors, male factors, or a combination of both. Coordinated testing allows for a more complete understanding of the situation and helps streamline next steps.

  • After testing is complete, your physician will review the results with you and explain what they mean. Depending on the findings, next steps may include lifestyle modifications, ovulation monitoring, medication, IUI, IVF, or fertility preservation. Some patients may simply receive reassurance. The goal is always to create a clear, personalized plan.
