A lot of young married couples decide they want to become parents. They both agree that the time is right and they start doing everything they can to get pregnant. The birth of a child is something that brings happiness to the entire household. Some partners succeed in conceiving straight away, while others need more time perhaps because of a health problem they’re probably not aware of. Unfortunately, there are some instances where the woman can’t get pregnant at all.
When things don’t go according to plan, couples tend to seek help from a gynecologist. The gynecologist is an expert in their field and can provide all the necessary information to try and help the couple by offering a solution if there is one. A lot of the times women are asked to do an infertility profile test to determine their hormone levels when it comes to conceiving. This determines whether the problem is with the woman or man.
Sometimes the problem can be easily fixed with therapy, such as hormone injections in the woman. If the issue is resolvable and there are good chances of conceiving, the gynecologist will offer this type of treatment. Whatever questions you may have it is advisable to consult with a gynecologist.
In the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about infertility tests:
What Are InfertilityTests?
As mentioned above, infertility tests can help you find out whether the problem with conceiving is with you or your partner. They’re not the most favourite thing on earth to do, but they are essential if you want to find out the root of the problem. If you’ve been trying to get pregnant for a more extended period of time, but still haven’t been successful, then the best thing to do is try an infertility test.
The test will include a physical examination, blood tests, and other special procedures. A lot of things can help you to determine whether you need to do the test or not. For example, if your partner isn’t able to ejaculate, you haven’t used any protection for months yet still can’t get pregnant, etc. Of course, the safest way to know if you need to do the test is to explain everything to your gynecologist and listen to what they have to say. All in all, doing a female infertility profile test is not something uncommon and many conception issues can be resolved.
How Do Infertility Tests Feel?
This depends on what types of test are involved. An infertility test is like an umbrella term for several tests. Of course, you won’t have to do all of them, not unless your doctor tells you to do so of course. Blood tests and physical examinations don’t cause any pain to the body; you won’t be able to feel the discomfort of any sort. On the other hand, procedures like endometrial biopsy, hysterosalpingogram, and even laparoscopy can cause some degree of pain.
To be able to get pregnant, you have to do absolutely everything that is required of you. This is the only way that both you and your partner can improve your chances of conceiving a baby. The process can sometimes be frustrating, but in the end it is worth it.

What Are The Benefits?
One of the primary advantages of the test is to find out what the problem is. You can keep trying and trying but if nothing happens then something has to be resolved inside you or your partner’s body. Some people are not even aware that they have a problem and continue to try conceiving. Not only are they disappointed later on, but the problem with their bodies can become incurable if it is not appropriately treated.
There are instances where you can get treatment during the test as well. A lot of women encounter the problem of a blocked fallopian tube. The only way to remove that blockage is to perform a hysterosalpingogram. The doctor will advise you on this procedure if you suffer from a blocked fallopian tube. But don’t worry because it is a solvable problem and you’re not the only one to have had it. If it needs to be done, then don’t waste time.

Unfortunately, infertility tests don’t always show what the problem is and not all infertility problems can be treated. If that’s the case, then the best option is to consider adoption or a surrogate. Men that suffer from infertility have less chance of being treated than women. A lot of things depend on how we treat our bodies as well as genetics. If the issue is easily fixed, then you’re in luck. If not, there are other options and you can still become parents.
Do They Cost A Lot?
Sadly a lot of these options are expensive. This can cause stress in couples, because not everyone has the money to pay for them. Before deciding to do the infertility test, make sure that it will be worth the money. Talk as much as you can with a gynecologist. Sometimes couples are advised to have intercourse during the woman’s ovulating days. There are days in the month when the woman is most fertile. A doctor can advise you on the ways you can keep track of your cycle, which will help increase the chances.
If you’ve tried everything you can the natural way, then it is recommendable to do the test. It will cost you, yes, but if the test resolves the problem, then it will be worth it in the end. All the money spent will become unimportant as you witness the birth of your child. The process can cause anxiety and stress, but if you sit around and do nothing, then you won’t be able to get pregnant at all.
