FERTILITY INVESTIGATIONS

Pre-conception Screening

Before beginning any infertility therapy, preliminary investigations are required to safeguard the mother and the embryo from issues during pregnancy.

  • Blood group + Rhesus status (Woman & Man)
  • Full blood count (FBC) (Woman)
  • HIV (Woman & Man)
  • Hepatitis B (Woman & Man)
  • Hepatitis C (Woman & Man)
  • VDRL (SYPHILIS) (Woman & Man)
  • Rubella Status (Woman)
  • Hemoglobin electrophoresis (Woman)

In conditions of azoospermia or severe oligospermia, a karyotype examination, a test for Cystic Fibrosis mutations, and in some instances, an inquiry for Y chromosomal microdeletions is indicated. Depending on each person’s ethnic origin, we may need further tests.
