Tests for insemination

Each treatment insemination is preceded by a series of detailed examinations of the patient and her partner: preliminary, required for the procedure and additional (optional) examinations. 

Effectiveness insemination as a method of treating infertility largely depends on a proper assessment of the health and fertility status of the patient and her partner, which is why, before qualifying for treatment, the man gives a semen sample for extended analysis and the woman performs a AMH testing (determines ovarian reserve status), TSH (helps to determine the function of the thyroid gland), checks prolactin levels (affects the reproductive system) and undergoes cytology.

  • FT3

  • FT4
