What an Infertility Evaluation Doctor Actually Checks
A doctor evaluating infertility is checking three systems at once, whether ovulation is occurring normally, whether the fallopian tubes and uterus are structurally open and normal, and whether the male partner's semen analysis is within normal range.⁵ ASRM guidance identifies this three-part model as the minimum baseline workup.⁶
Infertility Prevalence: Why You're Not Alone
- Infertility affects an estimated 10%–15% of couples nationally.¹⁰
- Roughly 6.1 million women ages 15–44 in the U.S. — about 10% — report difficulty getting or staying pregnant.¹³
- 85% of couples without an underlying fertility issue conceive within 12 months.¹⁰
Step-by-Step: What to Expect
- Intake and history. Expect questions about cycle length and regularity, prior pregnancies, pelvic infections or surgeries, and family history of infertility.⁷
- Bloodwork. Hormone panels may include FSH, LH, estradiol, and AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone), used to estimate ovarian reserve.⁷ ASRM specifically recommends this testing for all women 35 and older.⁸
- Imaging. A transvaginal ultrasound checks uterine and ovarian anatomy and antral follicle count.⁷ A hysterosalpingogram (HSG), typically performed on cycle days 7–12, confirms whether the fallopian tubes are open.⁹
- Semen analysis. Because male factor infertility is involved in 40%–50% of cases, testing the male partner's semen is recommended at the same time as the female workup begins, not afterward.⁵
- Diagnosis and next steps. Depending on findings, treatment may range from ovulation induction medication to referral for more advanced reproductive technology; an estimated 10%–30% of couples are diagnosed with unexplained infertility even after a full workup.¹⁰ ⁵

When Should You Seek an Evaluation?
- Under 35: After 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse without pregnancy.¹¹
- 35 or older: After 6 months, since fertility declines more quickly in this age group.¹¹
- 40 or older: Immediate evaluation is recommended rather than waiting.⁵
- Known risk factors (irregular or absent periods, endometriosis, prior pelvic inflammatory disease, more than one miscarriage, or a partner with a history of testicular trauma, hernia surgery, or chemotherapy): evaluation is recommended without waiting for the standard 6–12 month window.¹²
Who You'll See in Sewell
The Sewell/Washington Twp. office is staffed by the same physician group as the practice's Voorhees location: Dr. Eric Grossman (practice co-founder, board certified, former UMDNJ-SOM assistant professor, and a South Jersey Top Physician for Women in 2021–2023), Dr. Leah Goldberg (Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson-trained, former Administrative Chief Resident), and Dr. Marigloria Maldonado-Puebla (Temple University Hospital-trained, bilingual in English and Spanish, recipient of the SMFM Residency Award for Excellence in Obstetrics).¹⁴ The team also includes nurse practitioners and certified nurse-midwives; Danielle Thomas, CNM, specifically includes fertility care among her clinical interests.¹⁴

Does Insurance Cover the Evaluation?
New Jersey requires many fully insured employer health plans (50+ employees, headquartered in NJ, offering pregnancy-related benefits) to cover diagnosis and treatment of infertility.¹⁵ A January 2024 update to state law, the New Jersey Family Building Act, broadened this mandate by adopting ASRM's definition of infertility and removing age and relationship-status restrictions on who qualifies for coverage.¹⁶ Because coverage depends on your specific plan and employer, confirm details with your insurer before your visit.
