HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOUR WOMAN IS FERTILE:
* Blood tests:ππ
Samples of your blood can be tested for a hormone called progesterone to check whether you're ovulating.
* Chlamydia Test:ππ Chlamydia is an STI that can affect fertility.
* Ultrasound Scan:ππ
Ultrasound is an effective way to diagnose possible causes for infertility such as: Evaluating the ovaries Endometrium
Uterus and
Fallopian tubes.
* X-ray:ππ
High doses of radiation can cause female and male infertility by destroying eggs and s***m.
However, CT scans and X-rays use low dosesβtoo low to damage eggs and s***m, even if the reproductive organs are directly exposed.
* Laparoscopyππ
Laparoscopy for infertility is generally only performed after other fertility tests have not resulted in a conclusive diagnosis.
For this reason, laparoscopy is often performed on women with unexplained infertility.
Laparoscopy also allows for biopsy of suspect growths and cysts that may be hampering fertility.
