What Preliminary Tests Are Needed

For women:
During your first visit to the FRMC we will organize ovarian hormone function testing and a uterine cavity and tubal patency test.

For men:
The FRMC will organize a semen analysis and provide you with instructions for collecting a sperm sample during your first appointment.

Both of you will undergo routine blood screening.


Most fertility procedures take several visits, a variety of physically exhausting tests, and you're on an emotional roller coaster, but I can offer this advice - be patient, open-minded and remain hopeful as best you can. Recognize the value of the support, knowledge and expertise of your physician and healthcare team. For me, these people made all the difference in the world.
