Abstract
The key to a successful infertility workup is to follow a protocol carefully and completely. After preliminary history taking and physical examination, tests are carried out systematically to investigate all possible ovulatory, cervical, tubal, and endometrial factors. A basal body temperature chart is essential for proper timing of tests, and a flow sheet helps keep track of results. Thorough evaluation of the man is also needed to identify possible causative factors.Keywords
