Hormonal Testing for Fertility

 

Hormonal balance plays a critical role in reproductive health. At PRAVI IVF & Fertility Centre, we offer comprehensive hormonal testing to identify any underlying imbalances that may be affecting your fertility. These tests provide valuable insights into your reproductive system, helping us create personalized treatment plans to maximize your chances of conception.

 

Hormonal testing involves measuring the levels of specific hormones in the blood to evaluate reproductive health. These hormones regulate ovulation, egg production, and sperm health, making them essential for successful conception.

 

Key Hormones Tested in Women:

  1. FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone):
    Checks ovarian reserve (egg supply). High levels may indicate reduced fertility.

  2. LH (Luteinizing Hormone):
    Important for ovulation. Spikes in LH trigger egg release.

  3. AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone):
    Indicates the number of eggs left in the ovaries.

  4. Estradiol (E2):
    A form of estrogen that helps assess ovarian function.

  5. Progesterone:
    Confirms if ovulation has occurred after mid-cycle.

  6. Prolactin:
    High levels can affect ovulation and menstrual regularity.

  7. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone):
    Thyroid issues can impact fertility and pregnancy.


🧬 For Men:

  • Testosterone: Affects sperm production.

  • FSH & LH: Helps evaluate sperm production and hormonal balance.


📋 Why It Matters:

  • Diagnoses irregular cycles, anovulation, PCOS, low ovarian reserve, and thyroid issues.

  • Helps design a personalized fertility treatment plan like IVF, IUI, or ovulation induction.
