Female Fertility Tests

Couples who have been having unprotected sex for a year, without conceiving, are considered infertile. However, "normal" couples can have anywhere between one-two years of unprotected sex before conceiving. It is recommended to consult your doctor to get some tests done on both you and your spouse at the end of a year.

Typical tests that are done for women are -

  • Pap smear to identify abnormal cervical cells
  • Breast exams to check for lumps and general health
  • Blood test to check if the main hormones like FSH, LH, TSH, prolactin, progesterone are present in optimum level.
  • Ultrasound of the pelvis, both transabdominal and transvaginal, to check the health of the ovaries and the uterus.
  • Hysterosalpingogram, to determine the working of the fallopian tubes as this cannot be done using ultrasound

Depends on your country and how far along the pgrnnaet woman is.Not all countries consider pregnancy to be considered life and charge the killer with the death of the baby. As per law, a baby is not viable til 22/24 weeks of pregnancy, prior to this it cannot survive outside the mothers uterus, so without the mother it cannot live,if the mother dies, the baby dies. But after 22-24 weeks the baby has a minimal chance of survival without the mother but intensive medical help. Causing death to a baby after this time line should be considered murder. Abortions are usually only legal up to 12 weeks, maximum 16 weeks. Unless for a medical/life saving reason then later abortions/induced labours are allowed.An adult is considered dead if no brainwaves/brain activity noted and life support is turned off.A fetus/baby does not have brainwaves/brain activity until 12 weeks.Here in Australia, if a pgrnnaet woman was murdered, only her life would have the killer on charges, the baby would not be considered as murdered. It's in discussion and there is debates about this at the moment.You cannot compare abortion to the murder of the mother though, it is not right. A murder of the mother is done out of hatred/spite/criminal actions, it is illegal and against another life. Abortion is the choice of the woman regarding her body, not another persons. It is an individual choice and is legal and the woman's right. Some abortions are done to save the mothers life or to prevent the fetus dying in pain prior to birth due to abnormalites/diseases/defects. Abortions are not just for accidents .You cannot compare a woman who aborts her baby due to a severe genetic defect that will 100% result in death inside the uterus, is medically known to cause suferring to the fetus prior to death to a cold hearted killer of a mother and child. You CANNOT compare and nor should you.Add/edit:Pro life people are always for baby rights .It is an egg a cell in the body. just like dry skin falling off your body.Yes, an egg, skin etc is alive, but it is not a life . A life means a heart, organs, brain activity.An egg does not have this.It takes up to 12 weeks for the egg to transform into a little miniature human with heart, organs, brain activity. Yes, the heart can start from 5 weeks.After 12 weeks the little fetus/baby has all the requirements to be classified a life .This debate will forever go on, abortion, when is it considered a life, baby rights etc.People need to open up their minds and see the bigger picture. Abortion is not always done for mistakes, accidents, birth control. There are serious medical reasons an abortion must be done some abortions are NOT wanted.
