Comprehensive Fertility Testing & Diagnostics

Struggling with fertility issues can feel overwhelming and isolating, but you are not alone. Infertility affects approximately one in six couples—or about 6.7 million people each year.

Fortunately, fertility testing at Pacific Reproductive Center can help identify the underlying causes of infertility. This allows our specialists to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your family-building goals.

Fertility testing is often recommended for couples under 35 who have not conceived after one year of having regular, unprotected intercourse and after six months for couples over 35.

How Do You Test Fertility?

Fertility testing can include a variety of tests for both men and women and help diagnose the root cause of infertility.

Fertility Tests for Women

Fertility issues can arise from various conditions, each requiring a tailored approach to treatment. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and fibroids are among the common conditions that can affect a woman’s ability to conceive.

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects ovulation and can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and infertility.

• Endometriosis: Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and potential fertility issues.

• Fibroids: Fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and fertility issues.

Some of the key fertility tests for women include the following:

• Hormonal assessments and fertility blood tests to determine whether ovulation is occurring.
• Pelvic ultrasound to evaluate the health of your ovaries and uterus.
• Ovarian reserve test to determine how many eggs you have for ovulation.
• Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to check the health of your uterus and fallopian tubes.

Fertility Tests for Men

We offer comprehensive fertility testing for male factor infertility, utilizing advanced diagnostic mechanisms to identify the core contributing causes of male reproductive challenges.

Some of the primary male fertility tests include the following:

• Semen analysis to assess sperm quality, production, and ejaculatory function.
• Hormonal assessments and fertility blood tests to measure hormone levels and check for genetic abnormalities.
• Testicular ultrasound to evaluate the health of the testicles and scrotum.
• Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) to check for abnormalities in sperm count, motility, and morphology (shape).

Other Fertility Tests

Pacific Reproductive Center provides comprehensive screenings for unexplained infertility, addressing a wide range of medical challenges with precision and expertise.

• Infectious Disease Testing: Conduct thorough screenings for infections that affect fertility, such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other pathogens.

• Insulin Resistance Evaluation: Perform detailed assessments to identify insulin resistance, a condition often linked to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and other fertility issues.

• Age-Related Infertility Screening: Conduct comprehensive evaluations to assess age’s impact on fertility, including ovarian reserve testing and hormonal assessments.

The Fertility Testing Process

Fertility tests can vary based on your specific concerns, health, and medical history. Here is a general overview of the typical steps involved in fertility testing so you know what to expect as you navigate your journey toward parenthood:

• Initial consultation
  A healthcare provider will conduct a physical examination and review your medical history, including menstrual cycle details, previous pregnancies, and any relevant medical conditions.
• Testing
  Based on your medical history, your doctor may recommend one or more tests for you and your partner.
• Results
  Following the tests, your healthcare provider or fertility specialist will review the results with you and create a personalized treatment plan if necessary.

Does Insurance Cover Fertility Testing?

Yes, many health insurance plans cover diagnostic fertility tests. However, coverage varies by state and insurance provider. We highly recommend contacting your insurance provider to determine your specific benefits before scheduling your initial consultation.
