The procedure for a women to see if she can have a baby?

Question

Hello
My husband and I are thinking about getting pregnant but we need to see a doctor first to see if we even can. I'm am a little scared as i have no idea how a women get tested for that. I know that men just squirt in a cup...but for women does it hurt? what do they do?

My husband and I have also been together for over 2 1/2 yrs and we have NEVER used any type of contresptive...so I do know that one of us is unable...just unsure of who.

There are many infertility tests for the woman. It starts with a PAP to make sure everything is ok there. Then they will do blood work to check your hormone levels. If the Dr doesnt see anything wrong there, then he/she will recommend more tests. Your Dr. will do an ultrasound (vaginal) to make sure that you have all of your reproductive organs. After that they will do an HSG test to make sure that your fallopian tubes are not blocked.

I do not know what's next, I quit going when I was told to have the HSG done. That was a few months ago...nothing I experienced hurt physiallly, but it was emotionally taxing to go to the dr twice a week to be poked and prodded...by myself. See if your husband will go with you for emotional support. I wish you the best.

You don't actually need a test to have a baby unless you have a history of abdominal deformity, massive surgery, trauma or infection. It is a good idea to have a pelvic to be sure nothing bad is going on anywhere, that should be fixed or treated before pregnancy.
The recommendation is to try for conception for one year [ if under thirty ], and then see a GYN; or six months if over thirty.

It's just a pap smear. They really just look in ther and maybe feel around a little, and take a pap. Jus tot make sure everything's normal!
