Evaluation & Diagnosis
When you arrive at your appointment, you and your partner will meet with Dr. Wilshire and first discuss what has led you to seek an evaluation. This discussion will often include a review of your medical history, the details of your attempts so far to get pregnant, and overviews of the tests and procedures which will help diagnose causes of infertility. The doctor will summarize the treatment options available so you are aware of what the next steps are, should you be diagnosed.
Infertility Testing
The purpose of infertility testing is to identify the origin of the problem in achieving successful pregnancy. Both partners will be evaluated, so we can determine the best treatment. |
Male Testing
Evaluation of the male factor involves a semen analysis, and possible endocrine testing such as, testosterone, FSH, and prolactin. |
Female Testing
Female evaluation consists of a physical examination and vaginal ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries. Often times hormone testing is required to diagnose the cause of infertility. |
