Preconception Planning
Preparing for pregnancy is an important step toward a healthy journey. We offer:
- Health Evaluations: Comprehensive assessments of your overall health, including medical history, lifestyle, and any existing conditions that may impact pregnancy.
- Genetic Carrier Screening: Testing to identify potential genetic conditions that could be passed to your child.
- Medication Reviews: Guidance on safe medications and supplements to optimize your health before conception.
- Fertility Counseling: Expert advice on timing, ovulation tracking, and lifestyle changes to improve your chances of conceiving.
Basic Infertility Workup
If you’ve been trying to conceive without success, our infertility workup provides a thorough evaluation to identify potential barriers. Services include:
- Female Partner Testing: Blood work to assess hormone levels, ovulation, and ovarian reserve, as well as imaging like ultrasounds to evaluate the uterus and ovaries.
- Male Partner Testing: Semen analysis to assess sperm count, motility, and morphology.
- Comprehensive Assessments: Evaluations to identify conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or uterine abnormalities that may affect fertility.
Advanced Diagnostic Testing
When additional insights are needed, we provide advanced testing to uncover underlying causes of infertility. Services include:
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG): A specialized X-ray to evaluate the fallopian tubes and uterine cavity.
- Saline Sonohysterogram: An ultrasound procedure to assess the uterine lining and detect abnormalities.
- Endometrial Biopsy: Sampling of the uterine lining to evaluate its health and receptivity for implantation.
- Fertility Lab Work: Comprehensive blood tests to assess hormone levels, ovarian reserve, and other factors affecting fertility.
- Partner Testing/Semen Analysis: Evaluation of sperm count, motility, and morphology to identify potential male factor infertility.
Specialist Referrals

Our team will work closely with you and your specialist to ensure a seamless transition and continuity of care.
We remain by your side throughout the process, providing guidance, emotional support, and coordination to help you navigate this next step in your fertility journey with confidence and clarity.
MENOPAUSE MANAGEMENT FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I try to conceive before seeking help?
Most couples conceive within a year of trying. If you’re under 35 and haven’t conceived after 12 months, or over 35 and haven’t conceived after 6 months, it’s time to seek an evaluation.
What is included in a preconception evaluation?
A preconception evaluation includes a review of your medical history, genetic carrier screening, and guidance on optimizing your health for pregnancy. We also discuss ovulation tracking and timing.
What tests are part of an infertility workup?
An infertility workup typically includes hormone testing, ultrasounds, and ovulation assessments for the female partner, as well as semen analysis for the male partner. Additional tests may be recommended based on your situation.
What is ovulation induction, and how does it work?
Ovulation induction involves using medications to stimulate the ovaries to release eggs. It’s often used for women with irregular cycles or conditions like PCOS.
When should I consider seeing a fertility specialist?
If basic infertility treatments like ovulation induction or diagnostic testing don’t lead to success, or if advanced treatments like IVF or IUI are needed, we’ll refer you to a trusted fertility specialist.
Can lifestyle changes improve my chances of conceiving?
Yes, lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, avoiding smoking, and tracking ovulation can significantly improve your chances of conceiving. We’ll provide personalized recommendations during your evaluation.
