Before starting fertility treatment, it is important for both partners to undergo a set of evaluations. These tests help identify potential medical, hormonal, or structural factors that may affect conception and pregnancy. By understanding each partner’s reproductive health in detail, Dr. Meng and the team can design a personalized treatment plan to maximize the chances of success.
Female Partner – Fertility Evaluation
Test
Purpose / Description
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
Evaluates overall health and screens for anemia, infections, or other blood-related issues that may affect pregnancy.
Infectious Disease Panel
Screening for HIV, Hepatitis B & C, Syphilis, and other infections that can impact fertility or pregnancy.
Thyroid Panel
Assesses thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4). Thyroid disorders can cause irregular cycles and miscarriage risk.
Hormone Levels
Includes FSH, LH, Estradiol, Progesterone, and Prolactin to evaluate ovarian function and menstrual cycle regulation.
Vitamin D Level
Low vitamin D is linked to reduced fertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Blood Sugar Level
Tests for diabetes or insulin resistance, which can impact ovulation and pregnancy health.
Immunity Testing
Screens for autoimmune conditions or abnormal antibodies (e.g., antiphospholipid antibodies) that may interfere with conception.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
Measures ovarian reserve, indicating how many eggs remain in the ovaries.
Genetic Testing
Checks for inherited conditions or gene mutations that could affect fertility or be passed to a child.
Endometriosis Evaluation
Determines whether abnormal endometrial tissue growth is affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus.
Tubal Test (if needed)
Tests fallopian tube patency (e.g., HSG or HyCoSy) to see if the tubes are open for fertilization.
Uterine Cavity Exam (Hysteroscopy)
Direct visualization of the uterine cavity to identify polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or other abnormalities.
Male Partner – Fertility Evaluation
Test
Purpose / Description
Infectious Disease Panel
Screening for HIV, Hepatitis B & C, Syphilis, and other infections that may affect fertility or be transmitted.
Sperm Test (Semen Analysis)
Measures sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and volume to evaluate male fertility potential.
