Fertility testing is often the first step toward understanding your reproductive health. Whether you’re planning a pregnancy or facing difficulty conceiving, fertility tests provide valuable insights into ovarian reserve, hormonal balance, and reproductive potential.
At ZIVA Fertility Center, Hyderabad, advanced fertility testing helps create personalized treatment plans for both women and men.
Why Are Fertility Tests Important?
Fertility tests help doctors:
- Identify causes of infertility early
- Assess ovarian reserve and egg quality potential
- Evaluate hormonal health
- Plan the right fertility treatment
- Improve chances of conception
Early testing leads to timely intervention and better outcomes.
Key Fertility Tests for Women
1. AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
AMH is one of the most reliable indicators of ovarian reserve—the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries.
What AMH tells you:
- Higher AMH: Good ovarian reserve
- Lower AMH: Reduced egg quantity
AMH can be tested on any day of the menstrual cycle and helps guide IVF and fertility treatment planning.
2. FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
FSH is tested on Day 2 or Day 3 of the menstrual cycle and reflects how hard the body works to stimulate egg development.
FSH insights:
- Normal FSH: Healthy ovarian response
- High FSH: Reduced ovarian reserve or diminished egg response
FSH is often interpreted along with AMH and estrogen levels.
3. LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
LH works with FSH to regulate ovulation. An imbalance may indicate ovulation disorders or conditions like PCOS.
4. Estradiol (E2)
Estradiol reflects ovarian function and follicle development. Abnormal levels may mask high FSH or indicate hormonal imbalance.
5. Thyroid and Prolactin Tests
- Thyroid disorders can affect ovulation and implantation
- High prolactin levels can interfere with ovulation
Correcting these improves fertility outcomes.
Fertility Tests for Men
Male fertility evaluation is equally important and includes:
Semen Analysis
Assesses:
- Sperm count
- Motility (movement)
- Morphology (shape)
Abnormal results may require further andrology evaluation.
Hormonal Tests
Testosterone, FSH, and LH help assess sperm production and hormonal health.
Advanced Fertility Tests: Beyond Basics
Depending on individual needs, doctors may recommend:
- Pelvic ultrasound for ovarian and uterine health
- Antral follicle count (AFC)
- Hysteroscopy or laparoscopy
- Genetic testing (when indicated)
- Endometrial receptivity tests
When Should You Get Fertility Tests?
You should consider fertility testing if:
- You are planning pregnancy after age 30
- You’ve been trying to conceive for 6–12 months
- You have irregular periods or PCOS
- You’ve had miscarriages
- You are preparing for IVF or fertility preservation
