BEFORE Going to a
Fertility Clinic or Center

Before being referred to a fertility clinic, you will probably undergo some tests to make sure your problems aren't anything that can't be solved with prescriptive medication or other means that don't require a reproductive specialist.

The tests you will most likely undertake before being referred to a fertility specialist are:

- For the male, a sperm count to test the number and quality of sperm

- For the female a progesterone level test to determine whether ovulationis occurring

- For the female, a laparoscopy to identify and/or treat Endometriosis

- For the female, an ultrasound of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries to check the condition of the uterus and ovaries The tests will most likely show whether or not you are completely infertile or whether you have relative infertility. More conclusive testing can be carried out at an fertility clinic or center.
Deciding to seek assisted conception help can be a difficult choice in itself, if not mentally, but financially. It can be a struggle for many couples on the hip pocket to chase the dream of having a baby. Don't go into things blindly, make sure you explore all of your options first so you are best prepared and can have a better journey to pregnancy.
