The desire for a child is unfortunately not always followed by pregnancy.

BIONEXT Laboratory accompanies you throughout your Medically Assisted Reproduction (MAR) journey, providing concrete and personalized solutions for your parenthood project.
Our expert Biologists in this field share their knowledge and experience to help you better understand the various factors that influence fertility. Read the interview with Dr. Thibault Ferrandon: "The care of couples requires a multidisciplinary approach."
Do you know what infertility is?
A couple is considered infertile if they do not achieve pregnancy after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse without contraception. BIONEXT Laboratory conducts various sperm analysis tests as part of the couple’s infertility assessment.
After one year of unsuccessful attempts, or even six months for women over 35, it is time to consult your doctor to discuss the next steps.
Male, female, or mixed origins, infertility is linked to various factors: age, lifestyle, medical reasons, environment, etc.
What are the different steps of your MAR journey?
First Gynecological Consultation
This meeting is essential for discussion and conducting certain clinical examinations.
The doctor also prescribes the necessary biological tests.
What is a fertility assessment?
All the analyses prescribed in your fertility assessment are performed by BIONEXT Laboratory.
This assessment helps identify potential causes of infertility by conducting biological analyses to determine the best options for a future pregnancy.
🔎 What are we looking for?
♀♂️ Blood tests for both partners: screening for HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and Syphilis in the blood.

♂️ Sperm analysis: a medical test analyzing various characteristics of the semen. The test aims to assess the number of sperm, their mobility, and their morphology.
