Six hormones. If the above tests are all within a relatively reasonable range, there is generally no need to do more detailed tests to determine whether you are healthy. However, many women have a thin endometrium, so they need to do a six-item hormone test to see if their hormones are not within the normal range. The thickness of the endometrium varies according to the time period of each month. Generally, during the menstrual period, it is normal to be around 3-5mm, and from the follicular phase to the ovulation phase, it thickens to around 8-10mm. Therefore, when many women are examined during the follicular phase, the thickness does not reach 8mm, and some are around 5mm, which is considered thin. A thin endometrium can cause less menstrual flow and affect pregnancy.

Three or six items for thyroid cysts and four items for infertility are to check whether there are anti-uterine wall total antigens, anti-sperm total antigens, anti-polysaccharide total antigens, and anti-uterine ovary total antigens. Thyroid examination is to determine whether the activity of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland is normal. Some women do not show any symptoms, but after examination they are diagnosed with infertility.

It can tell whether the shape of the egg is healthy and whether the size is reasonable. The egg usually grows to around 20 during ovulation, but some women grow to 22-25 and some only to 15.

Check for blocked fallopian tubes. This test is usually done when pregnancy has not occurred within one to two years of preparation. If pregnancy is not achieved even though all indicators are normal, it is likely that the fallopian tubes are blocked. There are many different causes of obstruction, which may be congenital or acquired due to infection and surgical treatment. There are many methods for examination now, such as angiography, fluid insufflation, hysteroscopy and so on. The costs vary, and it also depends on the medical equipment and testing methods of the hospital. The more sophisticated the instruments, the more complicated the inspection becomes and the more expensive it becomes. Consult the price and effect before checking, and also set aside time to rest, and consider whether you are in a hurry to get pregnant and so on.
