Many people who wish to build their families tend to begin with natural conception, unless they are in a same-sex coupling family structure. In such cases, alternative family building options are used. However, when people have challenges in conceiving, fertility testing is a process that is used to determine causes of infertility. It helps professional healthcare providers with the insight they need to determine options for treatment. Fertility testing is useful for both women and men, because both experience challenges with infertility. Even in sam-sex families, one of the partners will contribute either eggs or sperm for conception. With two members of the same sex, should one partner have fertility challenges, the other partner could contribute their eggs or sperm. Regardless, fertility testing can benefit both women and men trying to build their families, regardless of the family structure. In this discussion, we shall address how fertility testing works for both women and men. We shall also look at the actual tests that are conducted and what one can expect during such an evaluation, and what happens after fertility testing.

Early testing is essential for early diagnosis, which helps with better planning around family building. So let us get into it.
