Procedure
Choose a hospital that specializes in infertility.

All tests and treatments are done in accordance with the woman's monthly menstrual cycle and cannot be rushed.
Receive an infertility test as soon as possible.

For effective treatment, start measuring basal body temperature 2-3 months before visiting the hospital.
Measuring basal body temperature is the most basic of infertility tests. It can be done without medical supervision and provides important information in analyzing and rectifying potential causes.
How to measure basal body temperature:
Use only a thermometer designed especially for measuring basal body temperature.

Basal body temperature can estimate the date of ovulation and whether or not there an egg was produced.
