Where to Get Tested

Option 1: Fertility Clinic

Best for comprehensive testing with immediate specialist interpretation. All testing done in one place.

Option 2: General Hospital

Some basic tests available but may need referral to specialist for interpretation.

Option 3: Diagnostic Labs

Companies like Al Borg, Unilabs, and Medlab offer standalone fertility panels. Good for initial screening, but you'll need a fertility specialist to interpret results and recommend next steps.

Important Tips

Both partners should test simultaneously — 40% of infertility has a male factor

Timing matters — some female tests must be done on specific cycle days

Don't Google-diagnose — results need specialist interpretation in context

One abnormal test doesn't mean infertility — many issues are treatable

Insurance may cover some tests — check your policy for diagnostic coverage
