How to judge the progesterone level of test tube infants?
IVF is a method to achieve pregnancy through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer through artificial assisted reproduction technology. In this process, understanding the change of progesterone level is important for monitoring the progress of pregnancy and judging the success rate of IVF. This article will elaborate the judgment methods of IVF progesterone level from four aspects, and the measures to improve the success rate of IVF by using these methods.
1. Biological effect of progesterone level
Progesterone is an important pregnancy hormone, which plays a key role during pregnancy. It is mainly secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary and continues to be secreted by the placenta after the formation of the placenta. The effects of progesterone include reducing the frequency of cervical contraction, maintaining the stability of the intrauterine environment, promoting the development of endometrium, and supporting embryo implantation and the continuation of pregnancy.
Therefore, it is very important to know the progesterone level for monitoring the progress of pregnancy and predicting the success rate of IVF.
2. Judgment method of progesterone level
In the process of IVF, progesterone level can be judged by the following ways:
Blood progesterone concentration detection: This is the most widely used method at present. The concentration of progesterone was determined by taking venous blood samples from test tube infants and laboratory tests. This method has the advantage of high accuracy and can obtain detailed numerical results.
Urine progesterone test: This method is to judge the progesterone level by the progesterone metabolites in the urine. Urine test is a simple and non-invasive method, but compared with blood test, the results may not be accurate enough.
White hat inspection: The progesterone level was initially determined by observing the luteal formation at the cervical canal and the growth of embryos in the luteal cavity. This method needs experienced doctors to carry out, and the results may be subjective.
Through the above methods, we can comprehensively understand the progesterone level of IVF patients, and then judge the progress of pregnancy and adjust the treatment plan.
3. Measures to improve the success rate of IVF
According to the monitoring results of progesterone level, the following measures can be taken to improve the success rate of IVF:
Adjust progesterone replacement therapy: If the level of progesterone is too low, progesterone can be supplemented by oral or injection to improve the success rate of pregnancy. This requires doctors to decide the dosage and medication according to the specific situation.
Optimization of embryo culture and transfer technology: By optimizing the technology of IVF embryo culture and transfer, the quality and implantation rate of embryos can be improved. This includes selecting suitable culture medium, controlling the temperature and humidity of the culture environment, etc.
Psychological counseling and stress management: The process of IVF will bring some pressure to the physical and mental health of both spouses. Therefore, psychological counseling and stress management are very important, and mental stress can be relieved with the help of consultants or professional institutions.
summary
The determination of progesterone level in IVF plays an important role in monitoring the progress of pregnancy and the success rate of IVF. The progesterone level of patients can be comprehensively understood through blood and urine tests, white hat tests and other methods. According to the monitoring results, we can adjust the progesterone replacement treatment program, optimize the embryo culture and transfer technology, and conduct psychological counseling and pressure management to improve the success rate of IVF. Through the comprehensive application of these measures, it is hoped that more families can realize their dream of childbearing.
