The Role of Hormone Levels and IVF Success
When it comes to fertility treatments, one of the most transformative advancements in reproductive medicine is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). If you’re considering IVF as an option, you’ll want to understand how hormones impact every stage of the process so you can feel more prepared and in control. Whether it’s optimising ovulation or lining the uterus, hormones are the behind-the-scenes heroes of IVF. Let’s get into the role of hormone levels in IVF and how they contribute to success.
IVF presents an opportunity to realize their dream of parenthood. However, achieving success with IVF is not just about a single factor—hormone levels play a pivotal role in determining whether the procedure will be successful.
The Connection Between Hormone Levels and IVF Success
Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, and their levels can significantly impact fertility. During IVF treatment, hormone levels are closely monitored and managed to ensure optimal conditions for fertilization and embryo implantation. FSH is needed for the increase in the number of normal ovarian follicles. LH has the function of triggering ovulation. During the implantation phase, the optimal level of progesterone creates an acceptably completed uterine lining to support an embryo. Any fluctuation in these hormones during treatment can disrupt much of the delicate process, which, in turn, affects the success rates.
Most of the time managing hormone levels during IVF involves giving a patient some medication that stimulates or suppresses certain required hormones that are meant to be maintained at optimal levels based on the unique individual requirements.
