Men: A brief health history will be taken at the initial evaluation.
There is a charge for most special tests and procedures related to infertility.
Sometimes, blood tests, ultrasound or X-ray tests, or surgical procedures are recommended. For example, you might be asked to chart your body temperature (basal body temperature) during your menstrual cycle to see if you are ovulating, or your health care provider may recommend that you buy an ovulation predictor kit. Your partner is welcome to come to this visit. Your doctor may also want to do a pelvic examination. Women: At your first visit, your doctor will review your medical history, including any previous tests or treatments you may have had for infertility. Treatment for infertility ranges from simple changes in intercourse technique to the complex procedure of in vitro fertilization, in which a fertilized egg is inserted into the woman's uterus.īoth partners will need to be evaluated because infertility can be attributed to one person or to both. With thorough evaluation and the right care, more than half of these couples will be able to have children. (Women over 35 should talk to their doctor after six months of trying to conceive.) Infertility is not being able to get pregnant after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse.
