Evaluation

Consultation and fertility counselling

When you first visit the doctor, a thorough medical history is gathered including specific inquiries about your past treatments, drugs, and surgeries, as well as queries about your sexual history, past health issues, and other factors that may be contributing. 

After that, a 2-D and 3-D ultrasound scan are performed, and additional testing is suggested to help identify the reason for infertility and create a customized treatment plan.

Some important questions which might be asked/ assessed are:

Our experts, particularly our experienced fertility counsellors, explain the next best course of action once we get the results of the required tests.

2-D & 3-D ultrasound

For evaluating infertility, an ultrasound scan is inevitable and informative. It can be used for: 

Ovulation study

To monitor the growth of follicles in the ovaries, a follicular study is performed. The goal of follicular monitoring, also known as an ovulation study, is to track the development of follicles until ovulation and evaluate the proportional growth of the endometrium. Based on this, one can also suggest timed sexual intercourse. Follicular monitoring is also necessary throughout IUI and IVF cycles.

Ovarian reserve testing and laboratory tests

The main purpose of ovarian reserve testing is to estimate the number of viable/potential eggs in your ovaries and your likelihood of becoming pregnant. There are two methods for evaluating ovarian reserve:

1. Ultrasound and antral follicle count

The little antral follicles, which have the ability to develop eggs, are counted from both ovaries using a transvaginal ultrasound. This test, known as the AFC, can be used to assess a woman's potential for conception.

2. Hormonal blood tests

AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) is an equally accurate indicator of a woman's ability to produce eggs. It is possible to have it done at the first visit because a woman's menstrual cycle has little effect on its levels. But this is a sensitive hormone, and the test result may vary depending on the reliability of the laboratory.  

FSH, TSH, Prolactin, Estradiol, and other blood tests like the one mentioned above can also be used to assess ovarian reserve and fertility. Moreover, a basic blood profile test is required to rule out infections and common blood diseases like Thalassemia.

semen analysis in IVF lab - Dr. Manish Banker

Semen analysis

In 40-50% of couples, it turns out that the male spouse has an issue which causes or contributes to infertility. Consequently, it is crucial to analyze the sperm condition and count. These tests are far less intrusive than the tests for female infertility.

A sperm sample is taken for analysis which is done in a lab. An experienced andrologist will analyze the semen to determine whether the sperm can successfully fertilize an egg. The number of sperms, their health, and swimming ability are assessed. The andrologist assesses factors including sperm count, motility, and form (morphology), among others. Based on these factors, the andrologist assigns grades defined by the latest WHO criteria.
