Fertility Tests for Women 

At FIV Valencia, we offer the opportunity to undergo an Individualised Diagnostic Study (EDI), allowing you to assess your fertility during your first visit. 

The initial consultation lasts one hour, during which your doctor will take the time to have an in-depth conversation with you, gathering vital information about your personal, family, and gynaecological history. This step is crucial in determining the most suitable treatment for you. 

Details such as the regularity and nature of your menstrual cycle, major illnesses or surgeries, allergies, and any current medications can all influence your fertility. A comprehensive evaluation helps your doctor plan any additional necessary tests or analyses tailored to you. 

During this visit, we will conduct some initial tests, such as an ultrasound and a blood test. 

A gynaecological ultrasound, carried out during your first visit, allows us to rule out any pathology and to carefully evaluate the size, shape, and receptivity of your uterus. We will measure the uterine cavity and endometrium (the uterus's inner lining). 

The ultrasound also enables your doctor to assess the condition of your ovaries and fallopian tubes. 

Measuring the blood levels of the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) provides information about your ovarian reserve, an indicator of your fertility. 

Women are born with a finite number of eggs, known as the ovarian reserve. Hormonal measurement helps determine how many eggs are available for Assisted Reproduction treatment using your own gametes. 

Your doctor may also request additional blood tests to evaluate your overall health, to detect infections, to assess hormonal balance, and to identify other factors that may contribute to infertility. 

FIV Valencia is a pioneer in incorporating emotional support into Assisted Reproduction. We have a dedicated unit to help patients experience their fertility treatment positively. From the very first visit, we offer the possibility of psychological support and monitoring. 

At our centre, we believe psychological support can be a decisive factor in the success of treatment to achieve a healthy pregnancy. 

A common cause of female infertility is blocked fallopian tubes, which prevents the egg from reaching the uterus and thus hinders fertilisation. 

Fallopian tube obstruction often results from gynaecological infections, inflammation, adhesions, or conditions like endometriosis. Diagnosis is usually done via ultrasound or laparoscopy. 

When a tubal obstruction is identified, In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is the only option for achieving pregnancy with your own eggs. 

The Hysterosalpingo-Contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) procedure allows us to verify whether the fallopian tubes are open. A contrast agent is used to monitor tubal permeability through ultrasound. Unlike Hysterosalpingography (HSG), which uses X-rays, HyCoSy does not expose patients to radiation and is more comfortable. 

Genetic testing is recommended when the patient's medical history suggests that genetic factors may affect their ability to conceive. Genetic analyses are also conducted in cases of hereditary conditions or unexplained miscarriages. 

These tests help identify underlying genetic conditions influencing fertility, providing valuable insights for diagnosis and personalised fertility treatment planning. 

Hysteroscopy is a diagnostic procedure indicated during Assisted Reproduction treatment to examine the uterine cavity and to gain a clear view of its anatomical state. Performed via endoscopy, the doctor may take an endometrial sample for further histological analysis during the procedure. 

Hysteroscopy also enables the detection and immediate removal of any undesired pathology, such as polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or septa. 

This procedure is commonly performed under general anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
