Am I a Candidate for IVF?

Situations Where People Often Seek an Evaluation

• Trying to conceive for 12 months without success (or 6 months if 35 or older).
• Irregular or absent menstrual cycles.
• Known conditions affecting fertility (e.g., PCOS, endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, prior pelvic surgery).
• Prior cancer treatment with chemotherapy or radiation.
• Male-factor concerns suggested by prior semen analysis or medical history.
• Recurrent pregnancy loss.
• Considering single parenthood or LGBTQ+ family building.
• Family history of genetic conditions where preimplantation testing may be relevant.
• Fertility preservation before medical treatment or for age-related reasons.

What an Evaluation Typically Includes

1. Detailed medical and reproductive history.
2. Ovarian reserve testing (AMH, antral follicle count, FSH/estradiol).
3. Pelvic ultrasound and review of uterine anatomy.
4. Semen analysis for partner.
5. Additional targeted testing based on history (genetic, thyroid, autoimmune, infectious, etc.).
