Testing and Diagnosis: What to Expect from Your Doctor

Your doctor will likely start by reviewing your medical history and current symptoms. Be prepared to discuss your menstrual cycle regularity, any previous fertility treatments, and other relevant health information.

Expect a physical exam, including a pelvic exam. This helps assess your overall health and reproductive system.

Blood tests are common. These may include:

Test Purpose
Hormone levels (FSH, LH, estradiol, prolactin) Evaluate your ovarian function and hormonal balance.
Thyroid function tests Rule out thyroid issues affecting your cycle.
Pregnancy test Confirm or rule out pregnancy.

Ultrasound might be recommended to visualize your ovaries and uterus. This helps assess follicle development and uterine lining thickness.

Depending on your individual case, further tests, such as a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to evaluate fallopian tube patency, may be considered.

Based on the test results, your doctor will provide a diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options, which may include further Clomid use, alternative fertility treatments, or lifestyle changes.
