Some of the tests the doctor may want include: A sperm count and analysis to evaluate whether your partner is releasing enough live, normally shaped, fast-moving sperm to make fatherhood possible. Complete blood count and screening of both partners for blood type, HIV and hepatitis viruses, as well as immunity to German measles, and to assess functioning of organs, such as the thyroid gland. Hormone screening tests to find out if your body is producing normal levels of the various fertility hormones at the right time in your cycle; your partner may also be tested to see if he has normal levels of male hormones. Bacterial cultures of your cervix to check for gonorrhea, chlamydia and other infections that could impair fertility. Cervical mucus tests, which are done on the day you're most likely to have "fertile mucus, " and a postcoital test (conducted after you and your partner have had sex) to see if the sperm are alive and can swim freely in your cervical mucus. Ultrasound exams, also done in mid-cycle, to evaluate your uterus (and its lining) and the ovaries, check for fibroid tumors and monitor egg development. X-ray studies of your uterus and tubes to determine whether there is an anatomical impairment is preventing you from conceiving. Laparoscopy, a surgical procedure in which a small fiberoptic telescope is inserted into the pelvic cavity through very small incisions, may be recommended if less invasive tests do not determine the cause of infertility.
