Key female infertility assessments and diagnostic tests include:
1-Ovulation Tracking: Monitoring menstrual cycles and tracking ovulation to determine if regular and timely ovulation is occurring.
2-Hormonal Analysis: Blood tests to evaluate hormone levels, including those related to ovulation (such as luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone), thyroid function, and prolactin.
3-Ovarian Reserve Testing: Assessing the quantity and quality of a woman's remaining eggs, typically done through blood tests measuring anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count via ultrasound.
4-Hysterosalpingography (HSG): An X-ray test to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes for any blockages or structural issues that may hinder fertilization.
5-Transvaginal Ultrasound: Using ultrasound to check for abnormalities in the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
6-Laparoscopy: A surgical procedure involving a small incision to inspect the pelvic organs for conditions such as endometriosis, adhesions, or tubal blockages.
7-Endometrial Biopsy: Evaluating the uterine lining for any abnormalities or issues that may impact implantation.
8-Genetic Testing: In some cases, genetic testing may be recommended to identify any inherited conditions that could contribute to infertility.
9-Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Assessment: Evaluating the history and presence of any pelvic infections that could affect fertility.
10-Thyroid Function Testing: Assessing thyroid hormones to ensure that they are within the normal range, as thyroid imbalances can affect fertility.

 

The specific tests performed may vary based on the individual's medical history, age, and presenting symptoms. These assessments aim to identify the potential causes of female infertility, which can guide the development of an appropriate treatment plan to improve the chances of successful conception.
