My husband and I are trying to conceive for the past three months. What are the tests to be done?

Hello,

Welcome to iclniq.com.

I understand your concern. To conceive, it is very important to track your periods, maintain good health (both partners) and have intercourse at the right time. So from your period log, you mention your average length of the cycle is 26 days, which means your ovulation date will fall on days 11 to 12. So having timed intercourse from 10 to 14 days of a cycle will help conceive. But since you are in a race against time to conceive, it is better to do all the basic workup at once. For that, both you and your husband have to get tests done, and depending upon the results, the course of treatment can be decided.

Test for your husband are:

1) Complete blood picture.

2) Sugar levels, fasting, and postprandial sugar level.

3) Semen analysis

4) Thyroid function tests.

Tests for you are:

1) Complete blood picture.

2) Sugar levels, fasting, and postprandial sugar level.

3) USG (ultrasonography) to see ovary and endometrium (baseline pelvic scan).

4) Thyroid function tests.

5) AMH (anti-Mullerian hormone).

6) HSG (hysterosalpingography) to see if tubes are patent.

Also, it is advisable to visit a fertility expert in person or over video consult to decide the further line of action. I hope this was helpful. Please get back if you have further doubts.
