Planning a pregnancy can be an exciting yet sometimes uncertain phase of life. When conception does not happen as expected, fertility health checkups can help individuals and couples better understand their reproductive health. These tests are not meant to label or diagnose conditions but to provide supportive insights into potential factors that may influence conception.
Aayush Labs offers structured fertility testing services for both men and women with the convenience of home sample collection, digital reports, and certified lab processing, making the process more accessible and less stressful.
This guide explains fertility testing in a simple, non-clinical way to help you make informed decisions at your own pace.
What Are Fertility Tests?
Fertility tests are a group of screening investigations that assess various biological and hormonal factors involved in reproduction.
These tests focus on:
- Hormonal balance
- Reproductive organ health
- Ovarian reserve (egg potential)
- Sperm health parameters
They do not predict pregnancy or guarantee outcomes, but they can support early awareness and planning.
When Are Fertility Tests Usually Considered?
While every individual and couple is different, fertility testing is commonly considered:
- If pregnancy hasn’t occurred after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (for couples under 35)
- After 6 months, if the female partner is above 35 years
- Sooner, if there are irregular cycles, past reproductive concerns, or any known medical history affecting fertility.
Some people also choose fertility tests in advance as part of pre-pregnancy planning, even before actively trying to conceive.
Female Fertility Tests: What They Usually Include
Female fertility testing typically evaluates hormone levels and reproductive organ health.
1. Hormone Tests
- Common hormone tests available through Aayush Labs include:
- FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
- Estradiol (E2)
- Progesterone
- Prolactin
- AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
- Thyroid Profile (T3, T4, TSH)
These markers help provide information about:
- Hormonal balance
- Ovarian reserve trends
- Menstrual cycle patterns
- Thyroid-related influences on reproductive health
Aayush Labs offers these tests under its Infertility Check Female packages, available in Basic, Regular, and Advanced panels depending on the level of screening required.
2. Pelvic & Reproductive Ultrasound
In addition to blood tests, some doctors may recommend ultrasound scans to observe:
- Ovaries and follicles
- Uterine structure
- Endometrial thickness
- Presence of cysts or fibroids
These imaging tests help support a broader understanding of reproductive anatomy.
3. Specialised Investigations (If Advised by a Doctor)
- Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) – checks for tubal openness
- Sonohysterogram – saline ultrasound of the uterus
- Hysteroscopy – visual examination of the uterine cavity
These tests are not required for everyone and are recommended only when clinically appropriate.
Male Fertility Tests: What They Usually Include
Male fertility testing focuses on sperm health and hormone levels.
1. Semen Analysis
A semen analysis evaluates:
- Sperm count
- Motility (movement)
- Morphology (shape)
This test helps understand factors that could influence the sperm’s ability to reach and fertilize an egg. Aayush Labs offers semen analysis services through its reproductive and wellness testing services.
2. Male Hormone Tests
These normally include:
- Testosterone
- FSH
- LH
- Prolactin
- Thyroid Profile
- Cortisol (in advanced panels)
Aayush Labs provides these through its Infertility Check Male packages, available in different levels based on testing requirements.
These tests do not confirm infertility but offer valuable insights into hormonal patterns that may affect reproductive health.

How Fertility Testing Supports Family Planning
Even for individuals not trying to conceive immediately, fertility testing can support better planning by helping to:
- Understand current reproductive health
- Identify potential concerns early
- Plan timelines accordingly
- Discuss options with doctors
Whether planning for now or later, having objective data can help reduce uncertainty and improve informed decision-making.
Common Fertility Concerns & Supportive Approaches
Many fertility-related concerns have supportive medical or lifestyle approaches depending on individual situations.
For example:
- Hormonal imbalances can sometimes be managed with medical guidance.
- Lifestyle adjustments such as nutrition, stress management, sleep, and avoiding smoking or excess alcohol can contribute positively to reproductive health.
- Medical procedures or assisted techniques may be suggested by specialists after reviewing all test results.
However, every case is unique and needs personalised medical evaluation.
