Menstruation and IVF cycle
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. The IVF cycle involves many factors, one of which is menstruation. Menstruation has a certain impact on the IVF cycle, which will be elaborated from four aspects as follows:
1. Menstrual cycle and ovulation
Menstrual cycle refers to the number of days from the first day of a menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation. Generally speaking, the menstrual cycle is about 28 days, but there are also many women with irregular cycles, which may be shorter or longer. For test tube babies, women's menstrual cycle and ovulation time are very important. Doctors usually arrange the next treatment plan according to women's menstrual cycle, including medication and egg retrieval. Therefore, whether the menstrual cycle is normal has a certain impact on the success rate of IVF.
In the process of IVF, doctors need to accurately determine the ovulation time of women, so as to take eggs at the best time. If a woman's menstrual cycle is irregular or has ovulation problems, it will be difficult for her to plan to retrieve eggs. Therefore, menstrual cycle and ovulation play an important role in the smooth progress of IVF cycle.
2. Effect of luteal phase
The luteal phase is an important stage in the menstrual cycle, which refers to the hormone secretion phase produced by the luteal body formed in the ovary after ovulation. The luteal phase generally lasts for 12-16 days. If pregnancy occurs, the luteal phase will be maintained. If pregnancy does not occur, the luteal phase will degenerate and hormone secretion will be reduced, leading to menstruation.
In IVF, the length and quality of luteal phase play an important role in embryo implantation and implantation. The short luteal phase or poor quality may lead to difficulties in embryo implantation, thus affecting the success rate of IVF. Therefore, whether menstruation is normal and luteal phase is stable is of great significance for the smooth progress of IVF cycle.
3. Hormone level and treatment effect
Menstruation is closely related to hormone levels. In the IVF cycle, doctors usually adjust and monitor hormone levels according to women's menstrual cycle. For example, in the ovulation induction phase, artificial ovulation induction drugs may be required to stimulate follicular development. Before taking eggs, anti luteinizing hormone drugs may be needed to prevent anovulation.
If women's menstrual cycle is abnormal, hormone levels may be affected, thus affecting the therapeutic effect of IVF. Therefore, whether menstruation is normal or not has an important impact on the adjustment of hormone levels and the treatment effect.
4. Influence of psychological factors
Menstruation failure may bring psychological pressure and anxiety to pregnant couples. The IVF cycle usually requires multiple attempts to succeed, and abnormal menstruation may prolong the treatment time. This long wait and frequent treatment process may have a negative impact on the couple's psychological state.
Research shows that psychological factors have a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. Anxiety and depression may affect hormone secretion, endometrial growth and embryo implantation, thus reducing the success rate of IVF. Therefore, when facing the situation that menstruation does not come, couples need to face it positively and keep a good attitude to improve the success rate of IVF.
summary
Menstruation has certain influence on IVF cycle. Irregular menstrual cycle, length and quality of luteal phase, adjustment of hormone level and psychological factors will affect the therapeutic effect of IVF. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and adjustment of menstrual cycle, actively face psychological pressure, and improve the success rate of IVF.
