A woman’s Antral follicle count (AFC) is a measure of the number of antral (or “resting”) follicles in each ovary. The AFC is performed during a transvaginal ultrasound, which usually takes about 5 minutes, and is included in every initial consultation.
Hormone tests are simple blood tests that help us understand your ovarian reserve and how hard your body is working to send signals to your ovaries to produce eggs.
A blood test done at any time during your menstrual cycle. Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is produced by the cells surrounding the follicles. It correlates well with the AFC and also with the number of eggs your body will produce with ovarian stimulation.
A hormone produced in the brain by the pituitary gland, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) stimulates development of your antral follicles (hence its name). FSH is determined through a blood test that is performed on the second or third day of your menstrual cycle. We always test the level of another hormone, Estradiol, to tell us if the reading is accurate.
The Hysterosalpingogram is a low dose x-ray of your pelvis to determine if your fallopian tubes are open. A radio-opaque contrast or “dye” is gently instilled into the uterus so that we can see the outline of your uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. The procedure takes only a few minutes and can be performed onsite at Grace, by our fertility specialists.
A test of the sperm in a man’s ejaculate. The semen analysis tells us the concentration of sperm, how many are moving, how fast they are moving forward, and how many have a normal appearance.
Also known as a “transvaginal ultrasound”, this test allows us to view the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and fallopian tubes (which we only see if they are swollen with fluid). A small handheld transducer is gently introduced two to three inches into the vaginal canal, using a warmed gel. This typically takes about 5 minutes.
A pelvic ultrasound is performed while sterile saline is gently instilled through the cervix and into the uterus. The saline neatly outlines the inside lining of the uterus. The procedure takes about 10 minutes.
A minimally invasive procedure in which a thin camera is inserted into the vagina, to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus.
A soft, thin tube (called a “pipelle”) is inserted through the cervix and takes a small biopsy or scratch of tissue from the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). The tissue is then examined under the microscope for any signs of inflammation or infection.
