FSH inspection and its significance

FSH (follicular stimulating hormone) is a hormone secreted in the pituitary gland, which plays a role in regulating ovarian function in women. Checking the FSH level can help doctors to assess the status of the female reproductive system, especially for IVF treatment, the FSH results will determine the time of drug withdrawal.

In IVF treatment, female patients often need to inject FSH drugs to promote follicular development and ovulation. Therefore, before starting the treatment, the doctor will conduct FSH examination to understand the ovarian reserve of women. Generally, women with FSH levels above 10 IU/L may have ovarian dysfunction. When the FSH level is normal or low, the sensitivity of the ovary to ovulation promoting drugs can be ensured, and the success rate of IVF treatment can be improved.

Through FSH examination, doctors can determine the time for IVF to stop taking drugs, so as to ensure that the ovarian response of the patient returns to normal when injecting FSH drugs. The following details how to determine the drug withdrawal time of IVF according to the FSH examination results.

Methods for determining the time of withdrawal of IVF

1. Single FSH inspection results

• If the result of a single FSH examination is higher than 10 IU/L, it may mean that the ovarian function is impaired. At this time, it is recommended that the patient stop taking the drug and wait for the recovery of ovarian function before performing IVF treatment.
• If the results of a single FSH examination are normal (usually between 5-9 IU/L), the IVF treatment can be continued and FSH drugs can be injected according to the doctor's instructions.

2. Repeat FSH inspection results

Sometimes, the doctor may require the patient to perform several consecutive FSH examinations to ensure the accuracy of the results. In this case, the drug withdrawal time of IVF can be determined according to the change of test results:

• If the results of multiple examinations show a continuous upward trend, it may mean that the ovarian function is impaired. It is recommended to stop taking drugs and wait for the recovery of ovarian function.
• If the results of multiple examinations show a stable or declining trend, it indicates that the ovary responds well to FSH drugs, and IVF treatment can continue.

3. Combined with other indicators

In addition to FSH examination, the doctor will also determine the drug withdrawal time of IVF in combination with other indicators. For example, the level of estradiol (E2) in the blood can be used to judge the development of follicles. If the E2 level is too high or abnormal, it may also be necessary to stop and wait.

summary

The results of FSH examination are important for determining the time of withdrawal of IVF. Through the analysis of the results of a single FSH examination and repeated examinations, as well as the comprehensive evaluation of other indicators, doctors can help determine the time for patients to stop taking drugs. If the FSH level exceeds the normal range, it may be necessary to wait for the recovery of ovarian function; If the FSH level is normal or below the normal range, and other indicators are normal, IVF treatment can continue. Timely and accurate determination of IVF drug withdrawal time can improve the success rate of treatment and create better fertility opportunities for patients.
