NAPLEX Contraception and Infertility Practice Test

Confirming that ovulation occurs in the female is the starting point in infertility evaluation because it directly identifies a common and treatable cause of infertility. If ovulation is not occurring, addressing ovulatory dysfunction can often restore fertility without needing invasive tests. Verifying ovulation guides the next steps: once ovulatory status is established, you can pursue further assessment of the uterus and fallopian tubes or evaluate the male partner with a semen analysis as indicated.

While testing tubal patency or performing a semen analysis are important parts of a full workup, they are typically pursued after confirming that the female is ovulating. If ovulation is confirmed, subsequent testing can be targeted based on the clinical picture.
