Fertility Tests for Men and Women
A fertility blood test is used to measure your hormone levels and is usually the first fertility test that your doctor will prescribe if you are finding it difficult to conceive and suspect that you may be infertile.
Blood test results are primarily used to detect hormonal causes of infertility. The blood test is taken at the start of your menstrual cycle (days 2 to 5) and typically measure levels of the hormones FSH, LH, oestradiol and sometimes prolactin.
It is a relatively easy way of identifying why it is taking you some time to get pregnant and in some cases, this may be enough to pinpoint the root of the problem.
Blood tests are often performed alongside a semen analysis which allows your doctor to find out whether the problem is due to male or female-related fertility problems.
Routine Blood Test: A typical routine blood test is the complete blood count (CBC). It counts your red and white blood cells as well as measures your hemoglobin levels and other blood components. This test can uncover anemia, infection, and even cancer of the blood.
