Fertility test in women - tests related to ovulation
- You cannot get pregnant without ovulation; the first fertility test should be to see if ovulation is occurring. A woman can find this out for herself by measuring the basal temperature every morning and entering the temperature in a temperature curve.
- In a 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation occurs in the middle.
- Ovulation can be recognized by an increase in the basal temperature of at least 0.5 degrees Celsius, which can be seen for several days.
- The temperature measurement method works best if you take the temperature in bed at the same time every morning.
- Ovulation can also be seen in the ultrasound examination at your gynecologist.
- In order for ovulation to take place, your hormonal balance (the female hormones) must be right. If your estrogen levels are too low or your prolactin levels are too high, ovulation cannot occur.

Tests around the fallopian tubes
- What happens during fertilization? The sperm cells migrate to the egg cell; a sperm cell usually fertilizes the egg cell while it is still in the fallopian tube.
- The fertilized egg cell travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it is implanted.
- The implantation - and with it the normal pregnancy - cannot take place if the fallopian tubes are glued or fused together.
- So the second important fertility test in women is to examine the fallopian tubes. Your gynecologist can use the ultrasound to assess whether your fallopian tubes are OK.
- Sometimes the fallopian tubes are tested by blowing carbon dioxide through them.
