Semen analysis is usually the first test to be performed because it is least costly and noninvasive. Hysterosalpingogram uses contrast medium to evaluate the structure and patency of the uterus and tubes. Endometrial biopsy determines whether the endometrium is responding to ovarian stimulation. A testicular biopsy is an invasive examination using a local anesthetic.
