Female Fertility Testing with Parryscope®
A Comfortable, 15-Minute Alternative to Traditional HSG Testing
If you’ve been trying to get pregnant without success, finding answers shouldn’t require multiple fertility clinic appointments or an uncomfortable experience.
The Parryscope® Female Fertility Test is a patented diagnostic approach developed by renowned infertility specialist, Dr. Preston Parry, that evaluates the three most important factors affecting female fertility during a single office visit. In about 15 minutes, you’ll receive a thorough fertility evaluation along with a clear explanation of your results and personalized recommendations for your next steps.
Unlike traditional HSG testing, the Parryscope® procedure uses advanced hysteroscopy and ultrasound instead of X-ray dye, making the experience gentler for most women while providing valuable diagnostic information.
Preferred Parryscope®
Women overwhelmingly preferred the Parryscope® fertility evaluation over traditional HSG testing in a published clinical study, highlighting a more comfortable and patient-friendly experience.

What Does the Parryscope® Fertility Test Evaluate?
Female fertility depends on several important factors working together. During your appointment, Dr. Preston Parry evaluates three key areas that play a major role in conception.
Ovarian Reserve: Do You Have a Healthy Supply of Eggs?
One of the first questions we answer is whether your ovaries contain a healthy number of eggs.
Using high-resolution ultrasound, we perform an Antral Follicle Count (AFC) to estimate your ovarian reserve. This allows us to see developing follicles and better understand your current fertility potential.
This information helps determine whether:
- Natural conception is still likely
- Fertility medications may improve ovulation
- IVF or other fertility treatments should be considered sooner
Understanding your ovarian reserve is an important part of creating a personalized fertility treatment plan.
Fallopian Tubes: Are Your Tubes Open?
Even if you’re ovulating normally, pregnancy cannot happen if the sperm and egg cannot meet. Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes are one of the most common causes of infertility, and many women experience no symptoms.
The Parryscope® procedure evaluates whether one or both fallopian tubes are open using a unique saline and air technique developed by Dr. Preston Parry. This allows us to determine whether the tubes are functioning properly without the discomfort often associated with traditional HSG testing.
In some cases, ultrasound may also identify signs of:
- Previous pelvic infections
- Endometriosis
- Pelvic scarring
- Other structural concerns
Uterine Evaluation: Is Your Uterus Ready for Pregnancy?
A healthy uterus is essential for successful implantation and pregnancy. During your evaluation, a thin, flexible hysteroscope allows us to directly examine the uterine cavity for conditions that may interfere with implantation.
We evaluate for:
- Uterine polyps
- Fibroids
- Scar tissue
- Congenital uterine abnormalities
- Other changes affecting implantation
This evaluation is especially valuable for women experiencing:
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Failed IVF cycles
- Unexplained infertility
- Difficulty maintaining pregnancy
How Parryscope® Female Fertility Testing Works
The Parryscope® technique combines advanced ultrasound with a very small, flexible hysteroscope to evaluate the uterus and fallopian tubes. Instead of using X-ray dye, the procedure uses sterile saline and tiny air bubbles to determine whether the fallopian tubes are open. Because the camera is extremely narrow, about the width of a coffee stirrer, many women find the procedure much more comfortable than they expected.
The entire appointment typically takes about 15 minutes, and Dr. Preston Parry will review your results with you before you leave.
A Gentler Alternative to HSG Testing
Many women delay fertility testing because they’ve heard that HSG tests can be painful. The Parryscope® approach was specifically designed to provide a gentler patient experience while maintaining excellent diagnostic accuracy.
For many patients, this means getting important fertility answers without the anxiety often associated with traditional HSG testing.
Why Early Fertility Testing Matters
he sooner fertility concerns are identified, the sooner you can begin the treatment that’s most appropriate for your situation. After your Parryscope® testing, our fertility specialist will discuss whether the next step may include:
- Continuing natural conception
- Ovulation induction medication
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
- In vitro fertilization (IVF)
- Additional fertility treatments when appropriate
Rather than guessing, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your fertility and a personalized plan based on your Parryscope® test results.
Compassionate Fertility Care You Can Trust
The Parryscope® experience was designed to feel different from the very start: more gentle, more personal, and more reassuring.
Instead of bouncing between appointments and waiting on unclear answers, you get something better: clear, real-time insight into your fertility during a single visit. Dr. Preston Parry will walk you through everything in simple, easy-to-understand language, so you’re never left guessing what comes next.
Think of Parryscope® as your first positive step forward with real answers, comfort, and a caring fertility specialist that’s in your corner.
