Testing for Female Infertility
Female factors account for approximately 40 percent of infertility cases in women of reproductive age; therefore, it’s important to examine both partners for possible infertility issues.
During the female testing portion of the infertility work-up, your doctor will focus on the three most important aspects of female reproduction: the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, and uterus. These reproductive organs can provide the following information:
- Egg quantity: Do you have enough eggs to yield a pregnancy?
- Fertilization ability: Are your Fallopian tubes open to allow passage of the egg?
- Uterine receptiveness: Can an embryo implant in your uterus and can you sustain a pregnancy?
The tests in this section will help your doctor determine the health of your reproductive system and will be instrumental in creating a plan to treat any potential causes of infertility.
