Advanced Fertility Testing: Uncovering the Hidden Factors Affecting Your Fertility

Are you struggling to conceive and wondering if there might be an underlying issue with your fertility? Or maybe you're just curious about your reproductive health and want to ensure everything is in order before you start trying to have a baby.
In this comprehensive video, Dr. Shefali Shastri from Reproductive Medicine Associates (RMA) will cover everything you need to know about fertility testing, from the different types of tests available to the factors that can affect your results. Whether you're a woman or a man, single or in a relationship, young or old, this guide is for you.
Here is a summary of some common fertility tests and what they evaluate:
Hormone tests: These tests measure the levels of hormones in the body that are important for fertility, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol. Abnormal levels of these hormones can indicate issues with ovulation, egg quality, or sperm production.
Semen analysis: This test evaluates the quantity, quality, and movement of sperm in a man's semen. It can reveal issues such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm shape, which can impact fertility.
Ovarian reserve testing: This test assesses the quantity and quality of a woman's remaining eggs. It can be done through blood tests that measure levels of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), or through an ultrasound that counts the number of follicles in the ovaries.
Imaging tests: These tests use ultrasound or other imaging techniques to examine the reproductive organs for abnormalities or structural issues that may impact fertility, such as fibroids, polyps, or blockages.
Genetic tests: These tests can identify genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities that may impact fertility or increase the risk of passing on genetic conditions to offspring.
By the end of this video, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of fertility testing and how it can help you take control of your reproductive health. Whether you're just starting to think about having a baby or have been trying for some time, this guide will provide you with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about your fertility.
