WHAT WE TEST

Comprehensive Female Fertility Testing

Advanced diagnostics to evaluate your reproductive health and identify the best path forward

Advanced female fertility testing laboratory

Hormonal Bloodwork

Measures FSH, LH, Estradiol, AMH, TSH, Prolactin, and other reproductive hormones to assess ovarian function, cycle regularity, and endocrine balance.

Reproductive Immunology Panel

A specialized set of blood tests used in select fertility cases, particularly when patients experience recurrent implantation failure, recurrent miscarriage, or have known or suspected autoimmune conditions.

Genetic & Carrier Screening

Evaluates inherited genetic conditions that may impact fertility, pregnancy outcomes, or future offspring. Includes carrier screening, karyotype analysis, and personalized recommendations based on your family history.

COMPREHENSIVE TESTING

Additional Specialized Testing Options

Our comprehensive fertility evaluation includes additional specialized tests to identify potential factors affecting your fertility journey:

  • MTHFR Variant Testing: Evaluates whether specific mutations are present in the MTHFR gene, which may affect methylation, folate metabolism, and homocysteine regulation factors that could influence supplement selection or embryo transfer support.
  • Vaginal Microbiome Testing: Assesses the balance of beneficial (e.g., Lactobacillus) and harmful bacteria in the vaginal tract — an often-overlooked factor in fertility and implantation. Especially useful for those with RIF, RPL, or frequent infections.

  • Omega-3/6 Inflammatory Testing: Evaluates systemic inflammation and essential fatty acid ratios (Omega-3 to Omega-6), which may affect egg quality, cycle response, and the uterine environment for implantation. This test helps guide personalized anti-inflammatory protocols, dietary recommendations, and supplement support for optimized fertility outcomes.

  • Hysteroscopy: Performed in-office to directly visualize the uterine cavity and detect polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or congenital abnormalities. Offered in Houston and The Woodlands locations only.

For most patients, we can complete all testing in one coordinated visit. In certain clinical situations (e.g., timing with menstrual cycle or external labs), a second visit may be needed.
