There are over the counter ovulation testers. I don't know if they specificaly pin point fertility. And, of course, there are conditions that can make an ovulating woman infertile that they do not test for.
there are lots of different tests Vanilla, some more complicated than others. From he basic ovulation tests, dont really tell you if you are fertile only if you ar releasing the hormiones associated with egg release. They are really only use to people who know they are fertile and are trying to get the best out of their cycle when trying to get pregnant. but there are many other tests, you will have to speak to first your GP who will refer you to hospital and then the gynae people will talk you through the options. They can take samples of blood, urine and the mucus in you cervix to test hormone levels for starters, and if that doesnt show anything they can do ultrasound scans to check for follicles that produce eggs are working correctly. More complex still, they can do tests on the mucus to see if it is blocking sperm, and put dye through your fallopian tubes to see if they;re blocked. They can also take samples of your womb lining to make sure it is infection free and that ovulation is occuring. Also, they can perform a laproscomy, where they put a small camera throuhg your belly button to look for any abormalities like endometriosis, scarring, fibroids or any misshaping of the womb or fallopian tubes. hope that all helps! ive been through quite a lot of the tests myself, not so bad
Thanks.. See, lately, I've encountered so many people with problems in their ovaries and some don't even need contraception at the young age of 22 because they are infertile. I was on the pill (I'm on a break now due to some hormonal problems. I'm just thinking, what if I'm spending all this money on contraception only to find out that I cannot have children? How should I ask my doctor? Just say I want to check if I'm able to concieve or not?
