Fertility Test Types, Benefits, and Process
At Hannam Fertility Centre, our fertility assessments include a range of tests designed to give a comprehensive view of your reproductive health. Our onsite fertility testing may include ovarian reserve testing (including Anti-Mullerian Hormone and/or Antral Follicle Count), ultrasound imaging, hormonal testing, and semen analysis for a personalized understanding of your fertility.
These assessments provide insight into your fertility health, helping you and our specialists develop a treatment plan based on your unique needs. Identifying potential challenges early helps you proactively plan for your future family.
The Assessment Process
The process begins with a consultation, where you’ll discuss your goals and medical history with a physician.
From there, your clinician will order testing which can be completed onsite or with one of our community partners.
We will review the results with you in a follow-up appointment. Together, you’ll plot out your next steps towards achieving your family planning goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Age is the best predictor of your ability to get pregnant.
Checking your fertility in your mid-20s to mid-30s can help you make informed decisions around when to plan to start a family, or whether you’d like to preserve your fertility. It’s also the first step of any fertility treatment.
In your 40s, checking your fertility can help you understand which paths to parenthood are available.
-
Most tests included in a fertility health check will be covered by OHIP.
However, AMH is important for understanding your fertility and is not covered by OHIP.
There may be other tests ordered for you that are also not covered by OHIP. Ask your clinician for more information.
-
AMH is the most sensitive test available to check your ovarian reserve, which refers to the quantity of eggs you have remaining. However, AMH alone is a poor predictor of natural pregnancy — people with low AMH can still get pregnant.
AMH is a very good predictor of how you will respond to fertility medications, and how successful you are likely to be with fertility treatment. It can also help guide you in decision-making about fertility preservation.
