DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES Doctors evaluate men and women differently to diagnose infertility. Infertility treatment begins with diagnosing the cause of fertility problems. When evaluating factors for female infertility, a complete medical history, and physical examination are done. This helps in determining the right course of action to be taken. Initial infertility diagnosis involves gathering a thorough medical history and doing a physical examination. After that, infertility diagnostic tests will be performed. Common tests include those for hormone levels, blood, and urine. FAQ What is the diagnostic test for infertility? A mid-luteal phase progesterone assay, a semen analysis, and a test for tubal patency, such as a hysterosalpingogram, should be part of the first diagnostic procedures for infertility. Progesterone testing is the most reliable method for determining ovulation. How is infertility diagnosed in a woman? Progesterone levels can be determined with a blood test around day 23 of a woman's menstrual cycle. This test determines whether ovulation has taken place and whether the ovaries are generating this hormone at a typical level. The levels of other hormones that are crucial for fertility may also be measured. How does diagnosis determine the best treatment? Following your evaluation and diagnosis by the fertility specialist, the fertility doctor will go through all the infertility therapies that are available to you and work with you and the rest of the fertility team to create your unique treatment plan.
