With the female fertility test, the semen analysis is included. Firstly, the semen analysis is done and then female check-up is done. After that, comes the consultation in which the doctor will tell you the options you can choose from. The test can be done on the same day.

Important Note

For the semen analysis, the patient needs to abstain the intercourse for 2 to 5 days. The embryologist will determine the sample and then the results will be given to you.

FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)

This test helps in determining the hormone levels. FSH is very essential as it helps in stimulating the egg growth before they release from the ovaries. Its level must be proper so that women can conceive without any issue.

This test is best as it helps to know if you have any issues related to fertility, menstrual cycle, ovaries disease, or problems with the pituitary gland.

But, yes, the test results can get affected if the patient is facing any medical condition, at what stage of cycle test is done, and if you are using any contraception.

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)

This test is also for the hormone level. The AMH is released by the developing eggs and it helps the doctor to know about ovarian reserve and the total number of fertility years the patient has.

The results of this test will not get affected even if the women are taking the contraceptive pills. Your doctor will let you know which option is best for you.
