Understanding Fertility Tests for Women: A Guide

Question
Hi,

Me an my GF want to find out whether we are fertile enough to have kids. Can you please explain to us on what we can do to find this out?

Thanks,

Nivantha

Answer
We do not usually start an infertility workup until you have been trying to conceive for at least 12 months, actively. Then we test to see if she is ovulating, if you are producing sperm, if the fallopian tubes are open, if you have any infections in the vagina, etc. Discuss it with her gynecologist.
