[Test] Both partners: Blood or urine tests [Description] 
Luteinizing hormone (LH) and progesterone tests may be done during a woman's menstrual cycle to help see whether she is ovulating. LH may be checked in a man to see whether he has a pituitary gland problem. Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Progesterone Thyroid function tests may be done to check for thyroid hormone problems that may be preventing ovulation. Thyroid Hormone Tests Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Prolactin is a hormone made by the pituitary gland. It may be checked if a woman has menstrual cycle or ovulation problems. Prolactin The anti-mullerian hormone test is a blood test that is sometimes used to check a woman's egg supply (ovarian reserve). It may be used for women who are considering IVF. Anti-mullerian levels go down as a woman's egg supply decreases, which usually happens with age. In some cases, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) may be used to check a woman's egg supply (ovarian reserve). FSH testing may also be used for men with a very low number of sperm to try to find out the source of the problem. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone A testosterone test may be used to see whether a problem with the testicles or pituitary gland is preventing a man from being able to father a child. A low amount of testosterone can lead to low sperm counts. Testosterone Tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) may be done. These may include urine samples or samples from the cervix or urethra.
