How to use IVF hormone?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology that combines eggs and sperm in vitro to develop into embryos, and then transfers the embryos to the mother's uterus to achieve pregnancy. Hormones play a key role in IVF. They can improve the success rate and successful pregnancy rate of IVF by regulating the hormone level in women's body, increasing the quantity and quality of eggs, and promoting the development of ovaries.
1. Evaluation before hormone use
Before using IVF hormone, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the patient. This includes the examination of the patient's age, ovarian function, ovarian reserve, endometrial thickness and other factors. According to the evaluation results, doctors will develop personalized hormone treatment programs to better promote the development of the ovary and the quality of eggs.
Generally, hormone use starts on the second and third days of the patient's menstrual cycle, and is carried out by injection or oral medication. During medication, patients need to go to the hospital regularly for monitoring to ensure the effect of hormone use and the patient's physical condition.
2. Types and functions of hormones
Hormones commonly used in IVF treatment include ovulatory stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and estrogen. Ovipotropin is a hormone that stimulates ovulation by promoting follicular development and maturation. The role of luteinizing hormone is to promote luteal formation and luteal function, and improve the endometrial capacity for embryos. Estrogen is mainly used to adjust the thickness and texture of endometrium.
The use time and dose of hormone vary from person to person, and can be adjusted according to the specific conditions of patients and the requirements of doctors. Patients need to follow the doctor's guidance, use hormone on time and in proper amount, and return regularly to ensure the effect of hormone use and individual adaptability.
3. Risks and precautions of hormone use
Although IVF hormone has significant effects in promoting ovarian development and pregnancy, its use also has certain risks and precautions. First, during the use of hormone, patients may have adverse reactions, such as breast pain, breast hyperplasia, mood fluctuations, etc. Secondly, the use of hormone may also increase the risk of multiple pregnancy, and patients need to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment under the guidance of doctors.
In addition, the use and dosage of hormones need to be strictly controlled, and too high or too low hormone levels may affect the success rate of IVF. Therefore, during the use of hormone, patients need to closely cooperate with the monitoring and adjustment of doctors to ensure the safe and effective use of hormone.
4. Monitoring and adjustment after hormone use
The end of hormone use does not mean the end of IVF process. After hormone use, doctors still need to monitor and adjust patients to ensure the smooth progress of IVF.
Monitoring mainly includes the size and number of follicles, the thickness and texture of endometrium and other factors. Doctors will adjust the use of hormones according to the monitoring results to better promote the release of eggs and the implantation of embryos. At the same time, doctors will judge whether to carry out embryo transfer according to the monitoring results to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
summary
The use of IVF hormone is an important link in the process of IVF. It can promote ovarian development and egg quality, and improve the success rate and successful pregnancy rate of IVF by regulating hormone levels. However, there are certain risks and precautions in hormone use, and patients need to follow the guidance of doctors for proper monitoring and adjustment. Only under the guidance of doctors and the rational use of hormones can we better realize the fertility desire of IVF.
