ADDITIONAL TESTS

The MiFertility Tests are designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your fertility potential. Based on their individual circumstances, some of our patients may benefit from additional tests, and our Fertility Specialist will advice you on these. The additional tests include:

Saline Infusion Sonogram (SIS) / Hystero Contrast Sono Salpingogram (HyCoSy)

This is an ultrasound guided test to evaluate the cavity of the womb for any structural abnormalities by instillation of fluid (saline) through a special catheter threaded through the cervix. If testing of tubes is required, then a contrast agent can be used to assess for any blockade of the tubes.

Hysteroscopy

This is the gold standard for evaluating the cavity of the womb for any structural abnormalities using a specialised telescope.

Laparoscopy

This is the gold standard for evaluating the abdominal and pelvic cavity-it is a key hole surgery to evaluate the uterus, tubes and ovaries for any pathology which may affect fertility.

Sperm DNA Fragmentation:

A proportion of men with suboptimal fertility outcomes from previous treatment may benefit from have their sperm tested for DNA fragmentation.
