Female Infertility Tests: Types, Process & Diagnosis

Infertility means a couple cannot conceive after a certain period of trying. When infertility involves the woman (female infertility), doctors use various tests to find out why. Early diagnosis helps in choosing the right treatment and improving chances of pregnancy. In this article, we’ll cover what tests are done, how they are done, and what the results mean.

At Pramukh IVF Center, we use advanced technology and expert care to perform thorough female infertility tests, helping identify the cause and design a personalized treatment plan to improve the chances of pregnancy.

Why Are Female Infertility Tests Important?

Female infertility tests at Pramukh IVF Center are important because they help identify underlying issues early, allowing for personalized treatment and better chances of pregnancy.

  • To know the exact reason for difficulty in conceiving
  • To check if there are problems like blocked tubes, hormonal imbalance, or issues in the uterus
  • To decide the right treatment quickly and save time
  • To reduce stress and increase chances of pregnancy


Doctors usually recommend tests if:

  • You are under 35 and trying for 1 year without success
  • You are above 35 and trying for 6 months without success

Types of Female Infertility Tests

Below are the major categories of tests, what they check, and how they are done.

Test Type

What It Checks / Finds

How It Is Done (Procedure)

Medical History & Physical Exam

Menstrual cycle regularity, ovulation symptoms, past pregnancies or miscarriages, any pelvic pain, history of infections or surgery. Physical examination may show signs of hormonal problems or structural issues.

A doctor asks questions, examines abdomen & pelvis, sometimes does a Pap smear.

Hormonal / Blood Tests

Measures various hormones that control the reproductive process; helps assess ovulation, egg supply (ovarian reserve), thyroid, etc. Some key ones: FSH, LH, AMH, Estradiol, Progesterone, Prolactin, Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). 

Sample of blood, often drawn on specific days of menstrual cycle (for example, day 3 for FSH & Estradiol) or at particular times (after ovulation) for progesterone.

Ovarian Reserve Testing

How many eggs remain; quality of eggs; how the ovaries respond. Important especially if age is higher, or there is history of ovarian surgery, chemotherapy, etc.

Includes blood test for AMH, ultrasound to count antral follicles (antral follicle count via transvaginal ultrasound).

Ultrasound / Imaging Tests

Looks for structural problems: cysts, fibroids, uterine shape anomalies, scar tissue, issues in ovaries, etc. Also helps check that everything looks healthy physically.

Transvaginal ultrasound is most common. For more detail, special ultrasounds like sonohysterogram (saline infusion), etc.

Tubal Patency Tests (Fallopian tube tests)

Whether the fallopian tubes are open (“patent”) or blocked. If the tubes are blocked, egg & sperm can’t meet.

Hysterosalpingography (HSG): dye is injected into the uterus & X-ray taken to see whether it passes through tubes. Sometimes laparoscopy + dye (chromopertubation).

Tests of Uterus / Uterine Cavity

Check for polyps, fibroids, uterine shape problems, scar tissue inside the uterus, lining problems. These can prevent implantation or cause miscarriages. 

Hysteroscopy (camera into uterus), sonohysterogram (ultrasound + saline), sometimes MRI if needed.

Other Female Infertility Tests

Sometimes genetic tests, testing for infections, or evaluating other contributing factors (endometriosis, ovulation disorders like PCOS, thyroid disease)

Depending on what’s needed: blood tests, imaging, surgery (laparoscopy), or specialized tests for infection.

FAQ

1. When should I go for Female Infertility Tests?

If you are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for 1 year, or above 35 and trying for 6 months without success, doctors usually recommend Female Infertility Tests to check the reasons.

Not always. The doctor will suggest the right Female Infertility Tests based on your medical history, age, and symptoms. You may need only a few tests, not every test.

Some Female Infertility Tests like blood tests and ultrasound are painless. Tests like HSG or hysteroscopy may cause mild discomfort, but doctors usually give medicines or anesthesia to reduce pain.

A basic hormone panel (FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, AMH etc.) generally costs between ₹1,000 to ₹4,000 depending on the lab and city.

Female Infertility Tests focus on the woman’s reproductive system (ovaries, uterus, tubes, hormones). Male tests check sperm count, movement, shape, etc.

Not always. Even with regular periods, there may be other issues like hormone imbalance, blocked tubes, or low egg quality. Tests help find those.

Many tests are very good, but none are perfect. Some issues may be missed; sometimes doctors have to repeat or combine different tests to get a full picture.
