If you’re embarking on your fertility journey, you probably have a lot of questions swirling around in your mind. Why is getting pregnant tricky? How long will the process take? What steps do I need to follow? Fertility testing can really help clear up these concerns and guide you on your journey.
At Indiana Fertility Institute, we offer a wide range of advanced fertility diagnostic tests to pinpoint any issues that might be affecting your ability to conceive. The insights gained from these tests are crucial—they allow us to create customized treatment plans tailored just for you.
Understanding Your Fertility Status
Conception is a complex process influenced by numerous factors, some of which can only be identified through diagnostic testing. Our fertility testing can uncover underlying issues and provide a roadmap for addressing them.
Comprehensive Testing for Women
For women, the journey to pregnancy involves a delicate balance of hormones and reproductive organs. If there are hormonal imbalances or reproductive health issues, conceiving can become a challenge. Our specialists conduct a thorough array of tests, including:
- Standard blood work
- Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) testing
- Evaluating recurrent pregnancy loss
- Tubal patency assessments
- Ultrasounds
- Saline infusion sonograms (SIS)
- Endometrial biopsies
- Endometrial receptivity assays (ERA)
- Genetic testing, like carrier screening or chromosomal analysis
Comprehensive Testing for Men
While fertility discussions often center around women, it’s important to note that male factor infertility accounts for about 50% of infertility cases in heterosexual couples. Issues like low sperm count or motility can play a significant role. Our male-focused diagnostic tests include:
- Semen analysis
- Sperm DNA fragmentation assessments
- Genetic testing (carrier screening, chromosomal analysis)
- Evaluating male hormone levels
Additional Testing Measures
In addition to gender-specific tests, we also perform genetic testing for embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This helps identify any chromosomal abnormalities or genetic conditions. Our genetic testing options include:
- Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A)
- Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M)
- Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR)
