The most common procedure that doctors follow in order to check whether you are pregnant is by taking the first sample of morning urine and testing it.

If the level of estrogens is low and level of FSH and luteinizing hormone are high, it may be the first step to ovary failure. Again if levels of luteinizing hormone are high and FSH hormones are low, it gives rise to defect in the ovary. High FSH levels and estrogens levels on the third day of menstrual cycles give rise to failure in reproduction. The doctors also collect samples of tissues from the cervix to determine whether ovulation is taking place properly. Also a test known as Clomiphene test is carried out where a drug is used for measuring the FSH level on the 3^rd day of cycle. Clomiphene needs to be consumed on the 5^th day or 9^th day after which the FSH is measured. High levels of the same may result in failure of fertility. It is recommended that if a woman has been trying for 6 consecutive months and still fails, she should immediately consult the doctor for further diagnosis.
