Hey there! If you’ve been struggling with the dream of starting a family, you’re definitely not alone. There are quite a few factors that can lead to fertility challenges, and it could be related to either partner or sometimes both. That’s why figuring out the root cause is so crucial for effective treatment.
At our fertility clinics, we’re all about providing couples with a range of diagnostic options to uncover what might be contributing to their difficulties. With personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, we’re here to support you on your journey to a successful pregnancy.
Key Diagnostic Methods
Let’s chat about some of the key diagnostic methods we use:
Ultrasound
This is a pretty neat technique that lets us take a peek at your internal organs. By using high-frequency sound waves, we can create images that help us see the shape and size of your organs. It’s non-invasive and super helpful in understanding your health.
Ovarian Reserve Testing
Every woman is born with a specific number of eggs, and this number decreases over time. By doing an ultrasound at the start of your menstrual cycle and testing for anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in your blood, we can see if your egg count is typical for your age. This info can guide us to the best treatment options for you.
Blood Testing for Women
There are several blood tests that can shed light on factors affecting your fertility. Based on your medical history and menstrual cycle, our team will determine which tests are likely to provide the best insights into your situation.
Menstrual Cycle Analysis
If your cycle is consistently outside the normal range of 21 to 35 days, we might look deeper into it. Detailed hormonal evaluations and cycle monitoring can help us pinpoint any irregularities, allowing us to suggest treatments that could enhance your cycle regularity.
Speculum Examination
Sometimes, a thorough internal examination can be beneficial. This helps us assess the vagina and cervix, especially if you’re looking at treatments that involve placing sperm inside the uterus.
Hysteroscopy
This procedure allows us to view the inside of the uterus. There are two types: diagnostic and therapeutic, both of which can provide valuable insights.
Fallopian Tube Examination
Since the fallopian tubes are essential for conception, we can check their patency using foam ultrasound, HSG (hysterosalpingography), or laparoscopy.
Sperm Analysis
About 30% of couples find that male factors contribute to infertility. If you’ve never achieved conception naturally, analyzing the sperm can offer clarity. We have a specialized lab for this!
Extended Examination
If repeated tests show decreased sperm quality, we can dive deeper to figure out what’s going on.
