At Virukcham IVF, we provide fertility blood testing to help our patients understand their reproductive health and make informed decisions regarding their fertility journey.
Hormone Level Testing
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): This hormone is crucial for the development of eggs in women and sperm production in men. Elevated FSH levels can indicate diminished ovarian reserve.
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH): LH plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle and ovulation. Abnormal levels may suggest issues with ovulation.
- Estradiol: This estrogen hormone is important for the menstrual cycle and overall reproductive health. Low levels can indicate problems with ovarian function.
- Progesterone: This hormone is vital for maintaining pregnancy. Testing progesterone levels can help determine if ovulation has occurred.
Ovarian Reserve Testing
- Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH): AMH levels provide insight into the number of available eggs in the ovaries, helping to assess ovarian reserve.
- Antral Follicle Count (AFC): While this is typically assessed via ultrasound, it can complement blood tests by providing additional information about ovarian reserve.
Other Relevant Tests
- Thyroid Function Tests: Thyroid hormones significantly impact fertility; thus, assessing thyroid function is critical.
- Prolactin Levels: High prolactin levels can interfere with ovulation and menstrual cycles.
Procedure for Blood Testing
At Virukcham IVF, we prioritize patient education and support throughout this process, ensuring that you have all the information needed to make informed choices about your reproductive health.
Procedure for Blood Testing
The process at Virukcham IVF begins with a consultation where our specialists will discuss your medical history and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Based on this assessment, specific blood tests will be recommended. The blood sample is collected through a standard venipuncture procedure, which is quick and minimally invasive.
Once the samples are taken, they are sent to our accredited laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days, after which our healthcare professionals will schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss the findings and potential next steps based on your individual results.
Importance of Fertility Blood Tests
Understanding your hormonal profile and ovarian reserve is crucial for diagnosing infertility issues early on. These tests can guide treatment options such as lifestyle changes, medication, or assisted reproductive technologies like IVF or IUI (Intrauterine Insemination). By identifying any underlying conditions early, we aim to enhance your chances of conception.
