Fertilty Testing: What will i undergo???

For a woman:

CD 3 Blood tests:

FSH, Estradiol, TSH, Prolactin

CD 6-12 a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)

For a man:

A semen analysis

Also a progesterone test around 7 days after ovulation ... or if you're not sure when that is, normally on CD21. Sometimes they'll do 3 progesterone tests on consecutive days to see the 'trend'.

what kind of blood test on cd3? what will they tell?

cd3 blood tests FSH and ESTRADIOL is an estimate of ovarian reserve and gives an estimation how you will respond to the drugs.

CD 3 test for FSH will tell you a little about egg quality and ovarian reserve. Prolactin is secreted by the Pituitary gland and thats the one that controls are harmones in your body. So, an elevated Prolactin signals something wrong with the pituitary and once they find what they can treat u

cool...thanks

i go to my very 1st RE appt. on the 18th of this month and im very excited about it. i was wondering what to expect on my first visit and what kind of blood work they'll be doing. will any of this bloodwork show a possible clotting disorder? or is that something that i will have to request?

You would have to request any additional tests for blood clotting, but once you've mentioned it to your RE, s/he'll probably want to know more about it too, and simply add that test to the list!

thanks victoria
