What to Expect from a Fertility Assessment

A fertility assessment is a tool to help your provider determine the cause of your infertility.

Fertility assessments typically include reviewing your family and medical history, blood work, urine test, and a physical exam. A complete fertility assessment may take several menstrual cycles in order to evaluate your hormone levels and determine if you’re ovulating. It may also gather other important data at different points in your cycle.

After the fertility assessment is complete, your provider and your fertility specialist can help you review potential treatment options and help you create a plan to build your family.
