Patient's question:
Because I have been trying to get pregnant without success, last week my husband went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found no abnormalities. So I also want to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. How much does infertility testing cost?Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis of the condition: If a couple has normal sexual activity, no contraception, and has been unsuccessful in conceiving for less than one year, it is referred to as infertility. There are many causes of infertility, including male and female factors. The first step is to perform a routine semen analysis to rule out male factors. The female undergoes a thorough examination, including fasting blood tests on days 2 to 4 of the menstrual cycle to check for perinatal hormones, thyroid function, and infertility-related antibodies. Between days 3 to 7 of the menstrual cycle, tubal patency is assessed through tubal irrigation or contrast imaging. Monitoring of data begins on days 11 to 12 of the menstrual cycle to track ovulation.
