For some women, getting pregnant is very easy. They find that it can all happen within 3 months. However, on the other side of the coin, some women find it very difficult to get pregnant. There are many reasons for this, such as; Age, stress, and overall physical condition.
Nowadays there are four fertility tests that you can take in order to find out the reasons as to why you can't get pregnant. The four fertility tests are; Hormone testing, Ovulation, Chlamydia and gonorrhoea cultures, and Sperm analysis.
Hormone testing consists of a series of blood tests that are taken at different times, which helps to verify the normal hormone production. This blood test measures the amount of progesterone you have, and finds out if you have enough of it to carry on a pregnancy. Another blood test is done to test your prolactin levels. Prolactin is the hormone which is responsible for producing breast milk. Having elevated levels of prolactin can impede with conception. There is also another blood test taken to test your thyroid function. Having an under or over stimulated thyroid can cause problems with getting pregnant.
In the ovulation test, your gynaecologist is looking for regularity in your cycle. A good way to track your cycle length is by using and ovulation predictor kit. This kit is recommended by most gynaecologists.
Chlamydia and gonorrhoea cultures are taken in order to detect these two viruses (Chlamydia and gonorrhoea). These two viruses are preventable but also difficult to detect. Chlamydia and gonorrhoea can cause infertility.
Sperm analysis is done by taking a sample of your partner's sperm. With this sample, one can easily evaluate sperm count and quality. The quality of the sperm is measured by its shape and movement.
Taking these 4 fertility tests will help your doctor to find out where the problem lies in you not being able to get pregnant. Once your doctor knows this, the next part of the procedure is finding a solution to rectify this problem. Good luck!
