Getting started
Tests before treatment
What each test is asking, for both of you.
Infertility has a female cause in about a third of couples, a male cause in a third, and both or no clear cause in the rest — so both partners are tested from the start.
- AMH and antral follicle count: how many eggs remain. They predict response to stimulation, not natural fertility
- FSH, LH and oestradiol on day 2–3 of the cycle
- TSH and prolactin: both can stop ovulation and are easy to treat
- Pelvic ultrasound, and a tubal test (HSG) where needed
- Semen analysis read against WHO 2021 reference values
