There are plenty of tests available to check your fertility status. These include:

Laboratory Tests
Lab tests to evaluate fertility may include blood and urine testing to measure hormone levels and check ovarian reserve. The tests will evaluate progesterone levels to see if a woman has ovulated, as well as the level of the hormone prolactin, as high levels can disrupt ovulation. Thyroid function may also be investigated, as thyroid issues can cause infertility.

Ovarian Reserve Testing
Ovarian reserve testing helps determine whether a woman is producing eggs, particularly high-quality eggs, and how well the ovaries are responding to the brain’s hormonal signals. Most commonly, this is evaluated by testing the blood for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) drawn on the third day of the menstrual cycle. This test is often ordered for those over age 35 or those with other complicating factors, such as a family history of early menopause and previous surgeries involving the ovaries including cancer treatments.

Imaging Tests
Imaging tests to evaluate fertility may include:

• Sonohysterography: After filling the uterus with a sterile fluid, an ultrasound of the inside of the uterus is taken. This helps to detect abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids and scar tissue.
• Hysteroscopy: This surgical procedure is administered via a lighted telescope instrument inserted through the cervix to view the inside of the uterus to check for the presence of polyps, fibroids or scar tissue.
• Laparoscopy: With this surgical procedure, a lighted telescope is inserted through a small cut in the abdomen to view the pelvic organs. Laparoscopy is not typically recommended unless the results of other tests or a woman’s health history suggests it may be useful.
