Step 1: Infertility Diagnosis and Testing
The first step in the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process is a complete infertility evaluation. This evaluation typically includes:
- Semen analysis
- Hysterosalpingogram
- Female hormone testing on the 3rd day of the menstrual cycle
- Ultrasound
This thorough approach helps us identify all of the causes of your fertility problems and helps us to individualize your treatment plan based upon your personal needs.
Your infertility evaluation will typically take less than a month. Once this process is complete you will have a trial transfer performed which is a way to measure the size of your uterus and determine the best embryo path for the embryo transfer.
