Assessing fertility involves checking female factors (hormones, egg count, prolactin, thyroid, STDs), male factors (semen analysis, partner's health), and anatomical factors (uterus, tubes, adhesions).

“So if you want to assess your fertility, I have buckets of it. One, female factor. What is female factor? Check your hormones. Make sure your egg count is normal, right? Make sure your prolactin, thyroid, everything's normal. Do an STD check, gorrhea, chlamydia, all of that. Next bucket, male factor. What's the sperm like? Is your partner smoking weed every single day? Um, has he had radiation because of testicular cancer? Whatever. Has he had fertility issues with his previous partner? Make sure the semen analysis is normal. It takes one minute to check that. The third bucket is uh tubal factor or anatomy. Is the anatomy normal? Do we have fibroids in the uterus? Is there a septum? Are the tubes open? Have you had chlamydia? Do you have, you know, any kind of adhesions?”
