You and your partner will have thorough exams. You both will be asked questions about
your sexual history and whether there have been pregnancies before
your medical history
your use of drugs and alcohol
how often you have sex and if you use a lubricant
any surgery on your sex organs or in your abdomen
You may also have these tests:
Tests of urine and blood. This checks for infections and your hormone levels.
Tests of the mucus from your cervix and tissue from the lining of your uterus. This finds out if your ovaries work.
Your partner’s sperm may be counted. He may be making too few sperm to get you pregnant.
Dr. Hardy may also want to make sure your tubes or uterus are not blocked. He may check for scar tissue in your pelvis.
Dr. Hardy may use a scope and a blue-colored fluid to help see the organs. This helps him determine if your tubes are opened or closed.
