Infertility Treatments: Female at Fertility IVF & Fertility Clinics
Infertility is a frequent problem that many couples face. If a woman has been trying to conceive for more than a year and has had well-timed, unprotected intercourse, she may be considered infertile. Thankfully, infertility can be managed. Understanding the reasons for infertility is the first step toward addressing it. A variety of fertility tests may be performed on women who receive an infertility diagnosis in order to validate the diagnosis.
You will be registered when you first visit Mother Divine IVF Fertility. Your medical and surgical histories, as well as your menstrual and coital histories, will all be carefully recorded.
We will be evaluating your past reports and treatments, so please bring the records of your previous treatments with you when you visit us.
Doctors will perform a physical examination and ask about the patient’s medical history and lifestyle before performing an infertility test. It might also be advisable to do one or more of the tests listed below.

Ovarian reserve tests are a useful tool used by doctors to help women estimate their capacity for reproduction. These tests can tell you how long it will take to become pregnant and how many eggs are developed to an advanced stage. Hormone levels, egg quality, and quantity can be evaluated using basic blood tests, including AMH, E2, and FSH.
The cells in a woman’s ovary’s follicles—the sacs that house her eggs—produce anti-mullerian hormone. There are many follicles, which suggests there are many eggs when there is a high level of AMH. A woman’s AMH levels and egg production decline with age. This blood test can be performed at any time and provides an accurate estimation of the quantity of eggs.
The pituitary gland in the brain secretes a hormone known as FSH, which is responsible for the maturation of ovarian eggs. When the menstrual cycle reaches its second or third day, a blood sample is taken. High levels of FSH are a sign of insufficient ovarian reserve, whereas low levels are a sign of a strong ovarian reserve, in contrast to AMH levels.
Together with FSH, estradiol—a kind of estrogen that helps a woman’s ovaries produce healthy eggs—is assessed. A problem with the amount or quality of eggs may be indicated by elevated levels of estradiol in the E2 test.
Because it evaluates both the quantity and quality of eggs, AFC is probably the best indication of ovarian reserves. Immature eggs that have the potential to develop into mature eggs reside in the antral follicles of the ovaries. The antral follicles can be carefully counted with a vaginal ultrasound. A high AFC indicates a robust ovarian reserve, while a low AFC implies a feeble ability to procreate.
A discernible decline in hormone levels can assist physicians in formulating a treatment strategy, although ovarian reserve testing is not the sole method to determine infertility.
Generally speaking, when trying to get pregnant, doctors advise you to record your basal body temperature. It’s possible to predict the ideal moment for sex by looking for an increase in BBT during ovulation. With the comfort of your own home, you can finish this charting.
A couple may be advised to engage in unprotected sexual activity and return to the doctor a few hours later. In order to conduct tests and learn more about the interactions between sperm and mucus, the doctor will next need to take a sample of cervical mucus. This test can also be used to measure sperm motility.
In contrast to a typical exterior ultrasound, this process necessitates the vaginal canal to be filled with specific equipment. It uses high-frequency sound waves to produce an image of the uterus and other reproductive organs on a screen. After that, the physician can assess whether any structural problems that are preventing conception, such as fibroids, exist. Typically, this painless treatment is carried out two weeks before the patient’s menstrual cycle.
An HSG, or subprogram, is another term for this operation. It is employed to search for uterine anomalies and fallopian tube blockages. A menstrual cycle is often measured with an HSG between day 6 and day 13. Via the vaginal canal, a liquid dye is injected into the uterus. The passage of the dye via the fallopian tubes is then tracked by a sequence of X-ray images. There will be a barrier or obstacle that prevents the dye from passing through.
Usually, a hysterosalpinogram and laparoscope are required to identify a blockage before treatment is recommended. Hysteroscopy is the procedure of passing thin, flexible equipment, shaped like a telescope, into the vaginal canal and the uterus. With the use of this gadget, doctors can examine the uterus from the inside to check for structural issues. It is not necessary to finish every test in the provided list. Even after testing, the cause of infertility may not always be found.
