It seems that your partner had to check his sperm first because infertility/sterility examinations for women are more complicated than for men. But anyway, what was done is done. Now, you can wait for your partner’s spermogram results. If everything is OK with his sperm, the next steps you can take are:
1. Vaginal check with a Pap-test;
2. Hormonal blood analyses (estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, prolactin, thyroxin, testosterone, DHEA);
3. Vaginal ultrasound;
4. Hystero-salpingo-graphy (HSG)-contrast X-ray method for checking the uterine and oviduct passages, and
5. Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy (final diagnostic procedures, if necessary).
If his sperm is not OK (not enough or immovable spermatozoids), you are free of any further medical examinations as it seems that his sperm count is too low for conception.
