What are the must-have tests when trying to figure out infertility? In this episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored, we’re joined by Anate Brauer, MD, a physician at RMA New York, to break it all down with our trio of fertility gurus—Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. Together, they dive into the top 4 tests you shouldn’t skip when facing infertility. We’re talking AMH (antimullerian hormone) to evaluate egg quantity. They discuss egg quantity vs. quality (yes, there’s a difference!), why age really does matter (ugh, we know), and what tests like TSH, FSH, and estrogen levels can tell us. They get into the nitty-gritty of semen analysis—because guys, you’re half the equation—and the dynamic duo of uterine evaluations: HSG and saline sonogram to check for polyps, fibroids, and make sure your fallopian tubes are open. And just when you thought we were done, we throw in a little genetic twist with carrier screening, explaining why matching mutations isn’t as romantic as it sounds. Whether you’re just starting your fertility journey or deep in the diagnostic weeds, this episode is packed with laughs, knowledge, and more than a few “aha!” moments. Don’t miss it!
