Who should be tested first after ttc

Question

Ttc for 2 years and ready to start talking to specialist. Not sure which one of us should get tested first or what we should test for.

Answer

Typically, they test men first with a sperm sample...if there isn't an issue with the sperm, then they will start testing the woman...my gyno is also an infertility specialist...we had discussed what kind of testing and whom would be tested first...hope this helps

Answer

Might as well start at the same time since your doc probably won't start treatment until they've uncovered all the problems you both may be up against.  In my situation we were referred because of me but it turns out DH has problems too and his testing took much longer than mine.

Answer

Also, in terms of timing, it takes a bit cuz some blood tests are on day 3 and others on day 21. And the ultrasound is on day 3 for antral follicles and usually between day 7-10 for HSG so if you have to wait for another cycle it can take longer. And if sperm is abnormal they usually repeat after 6 weeks etc. But all in all you shoul be able to get it all done within 2 months

Answer

I think most places check both at the same time. I started with the testing through my gyne who ordered random tests like blood tests for hormones, ultrasound, HSG. But then we decided to see RE and they ordered a spermogram for him. I think that's all the initial testing.
