How to Know If You Can Have Children: Tests and Indicators
Understanding your fertility status is a vital first step if you are planning to start or expand your family. Fertility testing gives important insights into reproductive health for both men and women, helping identify potential obstacles and guiding timely treatments.
Fertility Tests and Indicators for Women
Hormonal Blood Tests to Check Egg Supply and Ovulation
Hormones like Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and Progesterone are tested to evaluate egg quantity, ovulation regularity, and ovarian function.
- AMH reflects ovarian reserve or egg supply.
- FSH indicates egg maturation potential.
- LH surge signifies ovulation.
- Progesterone confirms ovulation success.
Ultrasound Evaluation
Antral Follicle Count (AFC) via transvaginal ultrasound counts egg-containing follicles, while uterine and ovarian structures are also evaluated for abnormalities.
Tubal Patency Tests
A Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or saline sonogram evaluates if fallopian tubes are open—vital for natural conception.
Other Tests
Additional assessments may include thyroid function and prolactin level tests and procedures like laparoscopy for conditions such as endometriosis.
Fertility Tests and Indicators for Men
Semen Analysis
Measures sperm count, motility, morphology, volume, and overall health to ensure sperm can fertilize an egg effectively.
Advanced Sperm Testing
Tests like DNA fragmentation provide further clarity in difficult cases.
When Should You Consider Fertility Testing?
If under 35, after 12 months of trying with no success.
If over 35, after 6 months of trying.
Sooner if risk factors or previous fertility issues exist.
