How to choose a suitable dose of IVF progesterone?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams of pregnancy. In the process of IVF, progesterone is a commonly used drug to help maintain pregnancy. Choosing an appropriate dose of progesterone is very important for successful pregnancy. This article will discuss how to choose a suitable dose of IVF progesterone from four aspects: age, ovarian reserve, ovarian responsiveness and pregnancy history.
Age
Age is one of the important factors in selecting the dose of progesterone for test tube infants. With the increase of age, the function of female ovaries gradually declines, and the quality of eggs will also decrease. For older women, it is generally recommended to use high doses of progesterone in the hormone replacement cycle to help maintain pregnancy. Young women generally have better ovarian function, and progesterone dose can be appropriately reduced.
In addition, age also has a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. If the female is older and the egg quality is poor, the success rate may be low. At this time, we can consider increasing the dose of progesterone to increase the probability of successful pregnancy.
Ovarian reserve
Ovarian reserve refers to the assessment of the quality and quantity of female eggs. Women with better ovarian reserve are relatively easy to conceive, and appropriate progesterone dose can help maintain pregnancy. Generally, ovarian responsiveness is monitored during follicular development, and progesterone dose is adjusted to meet individual needs according to the number and size of follicles and other indicators.
Women with poor ovarian reserve have less follicular development and low ovarian responsiveness. At this time, it is recommended to use high-dose progesterone to increase the stability of pregnancy. However, when choosing a high dose of progesterone, it is necessary to pay attention to the side effects and avoid adverse reactions caused by excessive doses.
Ovarian reactivity
Ovarian responsiveness assessment is an important step for women's ovarian function during IVF. By monitoring the follicular development, we can understand the ovarian response to drugs. Women with well-developed follicles need less progesterone, so they can choose a lower dose to help maintain pregnancy.
For women with poor follicular development, the ovarian responsiveness is low, and the dose of progesterone usually needs to be increased. The success rate of pregnancy can be improved by closely monitoring the follicular development and adjusting the dose.
Pregnancy history
The pregnancy history of women is also one of the important considerations in choosing progesterone dosage. For women who had a successful pregnancy in the past, a lower dose of progesterone can usually be selected. However, for women who have had repeated abortions or other pregnancy complications, a higher dose of progesterone may be needed to increase the stability of pregnancy.
When choosing the dose of test tube infant progesterone, we should consider the above factors comprehensively and finally determine the most suitable dose for ourselves. It is recommended to conduct treatment under the guidance of professional doctors to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Summary
Choosing a suitable dose of IVF progesterone requires comprehensive consideration of age, ovarian reserve, ovarian reactivity and pregnancy history. Older women with poorer ovarian function generally need to use higher doses of progesterone. Women with better ovarian reserve can choose a lower dose. Women with strong ovarian responsiveness have less demand for progesterone, while women with poor responsiveness may need to increase the dose. Pregnancy history and past pregnancy experience are also important references for dosage selection. Finally, the appropriate dose should be selected under the guidance of professional doctors to ensure that the IVF process is safe and effective.
