That about sums up what to expect on your visit to the doctor's visit. If you're serious about conceiving then you need to know that the process of attempting to decipher what exactly is wrong and if it can be overcome may be a long tedious process. The ordeal certainly will test your level of commitment to having a baby.
You also need to know that the outcome in about one third of the cases is that there is no specific cause -- at least none that your physician can discern. If you turn out to be a part of this one-third you may very well feel cheated and lied to. That would be a natural reaction. But you must work past that.
And if you're still serious about having children, then look at all the options that are available to you in an entire gambit of settings.
Another word of caution with regard to the tests you are about to undertake: none of this comes cheap. Evaluation, even today, is still very expensive. In many cases, your doctor may be performing tests not covered by your insurance.
As you can see just by this small peak that testing for infertility is not something to be entered into casually. Indeed, it requires a degree of commitment on several levels, including time, money and emotions.
Both partners are evaluated during this process. For a man to be fertile, his testicles must be healthy enough to produce sperm. Not only that but the sperm must be ejaculated effectively into the woman's vagina. That's basically what your doctor will be evaluating.
