Fertility assessment and counseling is the first and most important step for individuals or couples facing difficulty in conceiving. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of reproductive health and offers guidance on the best possible options to achieve pregnancy, either naturally or through assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

This process helps identify underlying causes of infertility, provides emotional support, and empowers patients with knowledge-based decisions on their fertility journey.

When Should You Seek Fertility Counseling?

You should consider a fertility evaluation if:

  • You’ve been trying to conceive for more than 12 months (or 6 months if over 35)

  • You have irregular or absent menstrual cycles

  • You have a history of miscarriages

  • You or your partner have a known medical condition affecting fertility (e.g. PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues)

  • You have undergone cancer treatment, surgeries, or infections affecting reproductive organs

  • You want to explore fertility preservation before marriage or before cancer treatment

  • You are planning late pregnancies or have age-related concerns

  • You’re in a same-sex relationship or are a single parent planning to conceiv

Components of Fertility Assessment

The fertility assessment typically includes the following:

1. Detailed Medical & Sexual History

  • Duration of trying to conceive

  • Menstrual cycle history

  • Past pregnancies and outcomes

  • History of any medical, gynecological, or surgical issues

  • Lifestyle factors: smoking, alcohol, stress, obesity

2. Physical Examination

  • BMI, signs of hormonal imbalance (e.g., acne, facial hair)

  • Pelvic exam to assess uterus and ovaries

3. Blood Tests

  • Hormonal profile: FSH, LH, AMH (ovarian reserve), TSH, Prolactin, Estradiol

  • Vitamin D, insulin resistance, and blood sugar levels

5. Ovulation Tracking

  • Basal body temperature, ovulation kits, or ultrasound monitoring
