Expert-written, medically reviewed articles to guide your fertility journey. From IVF success rates to LGBTQ+ family building — evidence-based information you can trust.
The antral follicle count is a simple ultrasound measurement that directly reflects your ovarian reserve — the number of eggs potentially available for recruitment. This guide explains the AFC test, what reference ranges mean at every age, and how results guide fertility treatment.
Male factor infertility contributes to roughly half of all infertility cases, yet testing is often delayed or incomplete. This guide covers every fertility test available to men — from semen analysis to genetic panels — and explains exactly what results mean.
Fertility testing for women involves a coordinated panel of bloodwork, imaging, and structural evaluations that together reveal ovarian reserve, hormonal function, and uterine anatomy. This guide explains every test, when to get it, and what your results mean.
Laparoscopy is the gold-standard diagnostic and surgical tool for identifying conditions that standard fertility tests cannot detect — including endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, and tubal damage. This guide explains who needs it, what happens during the procedure, and what outcomes to expect.
Expanded carrier screening tests both partners for hundreds of inherited genetic conditions before pregnancy begins — giving couples the information they need to understand their reproductive risks and explore options like PGT-M if needed.
Progesterone is the hormone of pregnancy — it prepares the uterine lining for implantation and supports the developing embryo through the first trimester. Understanding your progesterone levels during a natural cycle, IVF, or frozen embryo transfer can clarify a great deal about what's happening in your cycle.
The saline infusion sonogram is a simple in-office ultrasound procedure that provides detailed imaging of the uterine cavity — detecting polyps, fibroids, septum, and adhesions that standard ultrasound misses. This guide explains exactly what to expect and why it matters for fertility treatment.
A normal semen analysis does not rule out sperm DNA damage. Sperm DNA fragmentation testing measures strand breaks that predict miscarriage, IVF failure, and natural conception difficulty — even when motility and morphology look fine.
Testosterone replacement therapy suppresses the HPG axis and can cause azoospermia within months, yet many prescribers never warn patients about fertility risks. This guide covers what TRT does to sperm, how long recovery takes, and what alternatives exist.
