Fertility Diagnosis and Testing

Our fertility specialists use a variety of tests to diagnose infertility and better understand why you’re having difficulty getting pregnant. 

Why Choose Sutter?

When you've had trouble getting pregnant, fertility testing might be your best next step. We recommend seeing a fertility specialist if you're younger than 35 and haven't gotten pregnant after a year of trying (or six months if you're 35 or older).

Our experienced providers at our fertility clinic and embryology lab in Palo Alto offer compassionate, personalized care you can trust. Multidisciplinary teams work with you, using the latest evidence-based methods to assess the challenges you’re facing.

Before beginning fertility treatment, we’ll perform baseline fertility and preconception tests on both partners to diagnose or rule out any medical reasons that can lead to infertility. Male fertility issues contribute to nearly 40% of infertility cases.
