An Infertility test can help determine why you and your partner maybe having trouble getting pregnant. It’s possible that one or both of you posses a medical condition that is causing your infertility or it can be inherited from a parent.

So in our discussion the question becomes when should you or your doctor decide to have an infertility test?
In this article, we will discuss several key points you need to consider before scheduling an infertility test. When considering infertility doctors basically break couples into two basic groups.

The first group is couples age thirty and younger. With this group most infertility specialist recommends waiting approximately a year before having infertility tests preformed. The reason they recommend waiting a year is because absence of conception or continued miscarriage for a period of one year or longer is considered the parameter to begin diagnosis of infertility in males or females under the age of thirty.

The second group is couples past the age of 35. This group is getting close to age related infertility and will need to maximize the shorter window of time they have to conceive. In this case most doctors will almost always order the infertility test right away so that they can get a positive or negative infertility diagnosis and make treatment recommendations.

The next question, what can I expect when the doctor orders an infertility test?

Frankly speaking infertility tests and examinations as well as the treatments can be both physically and mentally difficult for you and your partner. Depending on your situation you may have to make several visits and undergo several infertility tests before any diagnosis can be determined and treatment recommend. This can be very expensive and more often then not won’t be covered by medical insurance.

We always recommend before having any infertility test done talking extensively with your partner about the different infertility test cost associated with the test and even worse case scenarios after the test results are complete. It’s better to be prepared then surprised because even with the most sophisticated fertility test and treatments couples cannot be guaranteed success in getting pregnant.
