Infertility Diagnostics & Fertility Medications
Understanding your reproductive health is a key step in creating a personalized treatment plan. At IVF Florida, we offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic fertility tests and medication protocols to help identify potential barriers in your fertility journey and improve your chances of success with the right fertility medications for men and women.
From hormone testing and semen analysis to imaging studies like the hysterosalpingogram (HSG), our specialists use evidence-based tools for diagnosing infertility and creating individualized fertility medication regimens.
Key diagnostic tests for women
- Ovulation assessment: Blood tests measure hormone levels such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to determine ovarian function and ovulation regularity.
- Ultrasound imaging: Transvaginal ultrasound evaluates ovarian reserve and uterine health.
- Hysteroscopy & laparoscopy: Minimally invasive procedures that allow direct visualization of reproductive organs for detecting fibroids, endometriosis, or scarring.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)
An HSG test is a specialized X-ray that helps evaluate the uterus and fallopian tubes. This diagnostic imaging test can detect blockages, polyps, or other structural issues that may impact conception or embryo implantation.
Semen Analysis / Andrology
A semen analysis measures sperm count, movement, and shape, offering insight for male fertility treatment planning. Our on-site andrology services help ensure fast, accurate results to guide treatment decisions for men.
Fertility Awareness Checkup
Designed for those planning ahead or just starting out, this simple assessment includes key hormone testing and a pelvic ultrasound to evaluate ovarian reserve and reproductive health.
Fertility Medications
Fertility medications are often the first step – and a crucial complement – to treatments like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Here, infertility treatment plans are personalized for each patient, whether you are trying to conceive naturally, pursuing IUI, or preparing for IVF.
Our medication protocols include:
- Fertility medications for women to improve ovulation and egg quality
- Fertility medications for men to enhance sperm production and hormonal balance
- Specialized regimens, including fertility medications for twins, when clinically appropriate
- Guidance on safe and effective use of fertility medications over the counter where applicable

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – HSG Tests & Fertility Medications
How should I prepare for a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) test?
Your doctor may recommend scheduling the HSG test just after your menstrual period but before ovulation. Over-the-counter pain relief may be suggested before the test to reduce cramping.
Does the hysterosalpingogram hurt?
Some patients experience mild discomfort or cramping during the HSG test, but the procedure is quick and the benefits for diagnosing infertility are significant.
What are fertility medications, and how do they work?
Fertility medications are prescription drugs that help stimulate ovulation, regulate hormones, or improve sperm production. These may be used alone or with IUI or IVF to improve success rates.
Are there fertility medications over the counter?
While some supplements and ovulation kits are available without a prescription, true fertility medications, including those for egg stimulation, require a doctor’s prescription. Always speak to your fertility specialist before starting any over-the-counter fertility aids.
Do fertility medications work for men, too?
Yes. Fertility medications for men can improve sperm count, motility, and hormone levels. These are prescribed based on semen analysis results.
Can fertility medications help with hormonal issues in women?
Yes. Fertility medications for women can address hormone imbalances, regulate ovulation, and improve egg quality – which is often a key step in treating infertility.
