OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello, and i hope I can help you today.

If you and your husband have been having regular (at least 2-3 times per week) for over a year and have not conceived, an infertility evaluation is a reasonable course of action.

The preliminary evaluation of infertility in a couple includes hormone tests and an evaluation of your uterus and fallopian tubes. The hormonal tests will likely include (at a minimum) a serum FSH, LH, TSH and Prolactin level. The test to evaluate the fallopian tubes is called a hysterosalpingogram, or HSG.

For your husband, he does not need to see a specialist but he should have his sperm count checked. His primary physician can recommend a laboratory where he can do the test.

A general OBGYN can order these tests for you and review your husband's semen analysis results. If you require treatment, you may be referred to a fertility specialist.

I hope i was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.

Best wishes,

Dr. Brown
