Female Fertility Test
in Singapore
Female fertility can be influenced by several factors,
including ovulation, ovarian reserve, hormone balance, the uterus, fallopian tubes, and underlying gynaecological conditions.
Fertility testing helps identify what may be affecting conception, so patients can understand their options and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Understanding
Female Fertility
Female fertility depends on several systems working together.
When conception is not happening as expected, assessment helps identify which factors may be contributing before treatment decisions are made.
Common Factors That
May Affect Female Fertility
Female fertility concerns may involve one or more factors.
When to Consider
Female Fertility Test
Female fertility assessment may be appropriate if one:
Has been trying to conceive for
six to twelve months without
success
Menstrual cycles are
irregular or absent
There is known PCOS,
endometriosis, fibroids, or prior
gynaecological concerns
Have experienced
miscarriages or previous
fertility concerns
Is considering
fertility preservation
Would like a
clearer understanding
of her fertility health
Female Fertility Assessment
May Include
Assessment depends on individual history and clinical concerns.
Investigations may include:
- ● Menstrual and medical history
- ● Previous pregnancy or fertility history
- ● Ultrasound Pelvis to assess the organs and structures in the lower abdomen, investigate pelvic pain or irregular bleeding, and evaluate conditions such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, or infection
- ● Ovulation-related assessment
- ● Ovarian reserve testing, including Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) testing where appropriate
- ● Assessment of the fallopian tubes
- ● Hormone tests to determine hormonal status
Appropriate tests help patients understand what may be affecting their fertility before making treatment decisions.
Female Fertility Tests That May Be Recommended
The appropriate fertility investigations depend on one’s symptoms, fertility history, age, and clinical concerns.
Female fertility assessment may include the following:
Pelvic
Ultrasound Scan
This is used to assess the uterus and ovaries, and to look for abnormalities such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, or polyps. It also helps assess the antral follicle count, which gives additional information about ovarian reserve.
Cost:
$80
(before GST)
Hysterosalpingogram
(HSG)
This test checks whether the fallopian tubes are open. Dye is introduced into the uterus and allowed to flow through the tubes to assess for blockage.
Cost:
$407
(before GST)
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)
and Blood Tests
Blood tests may be recommended to assess ovarian reserve and other relevant factors affecting fertility. These may include Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), thyroid function, rubella screening, full blood count, and Hb electrophoresis where appropriate.
Cost:
$239
(before GST)
Additional Assessment
Where Needed
In some cases, a more detailed assessment of the uterine cavity may be helpful, especially when conception is still not happening despite normal initial results, or after repeated treatment difficulties.
Saline Infusion Sonogram
This test helps assess whether the uterine cavity is smooth and normal in contour, and can more confidently exclude fibroids, polyps, scarring, or a uterine septum where needed.
Dr Chua will advise if this is relevant based on your history, scan findings, or previous treatment journey.
When Fertility Surgery
May Be Relevant
For some women, fertility may be affected by conditions such as fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, or damage to the fallopian tubes.
Before surgery, medication or lifestyle adjustments could be considered.
Where appropriate, surgery may be considered
as part of fertility care. This may include:
Fibroid removal
Ovarian cysts removal
Polyp removal / endometrial polypectomy treatment
Endometriosis surgery
Treatment of tubal conditions where relevant
Where clinically appropriate, surgical treatment may be considered as part of the entire fertility treatment.
The potential benefits, risks, and impact on future fertility should be considered carefully before proceeding.
Dr Chua discusses these options in the context of the wider fertility picture.
Female Fertility Within
the Wider Fertility Picture
Female fertility is an important part of the picture, but it is not the only factor.
In many cases, both male and female factors may need to be considered before decisions are made.
