Fertility Testing Services in Atlanta

Fertility testing is often the first step in understanding why pregnancy hasn’t happened yet, and what options may help move things forward. Many people seek fertility testing after months of trying to conceive, while others choose to be proactive due to age, medical history, or future family-building plans. No matter what brings you in, fertility testing provides valuable insight into how your reproductive system is functioning and helps take the guesswork out of next steps.

At Reproductive Biology Associates (RBA), we offer comprehensive fertility testing services in Atlanta for both individuals and couples. Our evaluations may include testing for women, men, or both partners, depending on your situation and goals. With decades of experience and a collaborative team of fertility specialists, RBA serves as a trusted local resource for compassionate, personalized care. If you’re ready to get answers and take a clearer path forward, we invite you to schedule a fertility evaluation with our Atlanta team.

Fertility Testing for Women

Female fertility testing focuses on understanding ovulation, ovarian reserve, reproductive anatomy, and overall hormonal health. At Reproductive Biology Associates, our fertility specialists use a combination of imaging, bloodwork, and diagnostic testing to help identify factors that may be affecting your ability to conceive.

Common fertility tests for women at RBA may include:

  • AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) Testing: A blood test that helps estimate ovarian reserve by measuring the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries.
  • Transvaginal Ultrasound: An imaging exam used to evaluate the ovaries and uterus, including follicle development and uterine anatomy.
  • Antral Follicle Count (AFC): Performed via ultrasound, this test counts small follicles in the ovaries to help assess fertility potential and guide treatment planning.
  • Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): An X-ray procedure that checks whether the fallopian tubes are open and evaluates the shape of the uterus.
  • Sonohysterogram or FemVue®: Ultrasound-based tests that provide a detailed view of the uterine cavity and, in some cases, tubal patency.
  • Hormone Blood Testing: Bloodwork to evaluate hormones involved in ovulation and cycle regulation, such as progesterone and others, as indicated.

Each fertility journey is unique, and not every test is needed for every patient. Your RBA physician will recommend testing based on your medical history, symptoms, and reproductive goals. For a more in-depth look at fertility testing for women, visit our Female Fertility Testing page.

Fertility Testing for Men

Male fertility testing plays an essential role in understanding the full picture of reproductive health. In fact, male factors contribute to infertility in a significant number of cases, which is why a thorough evaluation is often recommended early in the process. At Reproductive Biology Associates, male fertility testing is straightforward, informative, and designed to identify factors that may affect sperm health and function.

Common fertility tests for men at RBA may include:

  • Semen Analysis: A laboratory evaluation that assesses sperm count, movement (motility), shape (morphology), and overall semen quality.
  • Hormone Testing: Blood tests that measure hormone levels involved in sperm production, such as testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin, when indicated.
  • Medical History Review and Physical Exam: An evaluation that helps identify potential anatomical, hormonal, or medical factors that may impact fertility.
  • Genetic Testing (When Appropriate): In certain cases, genetic testing may be recommended to evaluate inherited conditions that could affect fertility or treatment planning.

Not every test is necessary for every patient. Your RBA specialist will recommend a personalized evaluation based on your history, test results, and family-building goals. To learn more about fertility testing for men, visit our Male Fertility Testing page.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing can be an important part of the fertility process for some patients, helping identify potential chromosomal or inherited conditions that could affect embryo development or pregnancy outcomes. At Reproductive Biology Associates, genetic testing may be recommended based on medical history, age, prior pregnancy outcomes, or specific family concerns.

RBA offers preimplantation genetic testing options, including PGT-A, which screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities; PGT-M, which tests for specific inherited genetic conditions; and PGT-SR, which evaluates embryos for structural chromosomal rearrangements. When appropriate, genetic testing can support more informed decision-making during fertility treatment.

Your Fertility Evaluation: What to Expect

Your first fertility evaluation at Reproductive Biology Associates is designed to be an informative, supportive conversation — not a one-size-fits-all appointment. This visit helps your care team understand your health history, reproductive goals, and any factors that may be affecting your ability to conceive.

During your fertility evaluation, you can expect:

  • A detailed review of your medical and reproductive history, including prior pregnancies, menstrual cycles, or previous fertility treatment
  • A conversation about your family-building goals, whether you’re trying to conceive now or planning for the future
  • Initial exams or diagnostic testing, which may include bloodwork, imaging, or other evaluations based on your needs
  • Time to ask questions and discuss next steps, with clear explanations and guidance from your fertility specialist

To help make the most of your visit, we recommend coming prepared with:

  • Relevant medical records or prior fertility test results, if available
  • Information about your menstrual cycle or ovulation patterns
  • A list of current medications or supplements
  • Your insurance card and identification
  • Your partner or anyone involved in your fertility journey, if applicable

Above all, your fertility evaluation is a collaborative, information-gathering process. Our goal is to provide clarity, answer your questions, and help you move forward with a personalized plan and confidence in your care.

Understanding Fertility Testing Costs

The cost of fertility testing can vary based on the type of evaluations recommended, your medical history, and whether testing is performed for one partner or both. Because every fertility journey is different, there is no single, standardized cost for fertility testing.

At Reproductive Biology Associates, your care team will recommend only the tests that are appropriate for your situation. Some fertility testing may be covered by insurance, while other services may be considered out-of-pocket expenses depending on your plan and coverage details.

To help you better understand your options, RBA offers dedicated financial specialists who can review insurance benefits, discuss anticipated costs, and explain available financing options. We encourage patients to explore our resources on costs, financing, and insurance coverage, or to speak directly with our financial team for personalized guidance.
