A) Test vaginal and cervical secretions
B) Look for problems within the uterus
C) Determine patency of the oviducts

Feedback:
Inflation of the oviducts with carbon dioxide (Rubin's test) may be done to determine patency (openness) of the tubes. An x-ray study called a hysterosalpingogram looks for problems within the fallopian tubes and uterus. Sometimes, a light curettage (scraping) of the uterus is performed to determine whether the uterine lining is undergoing the normal changes necessary to receive a fertilized ovum.
