What is the time and method of test tube baby FSH examination?
Test tube baby (FIV) is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) is one of the important indicators to evaluate female ovarian function. The following details the time, method and whether the test tube baby FSH examination can be carried out by itself.

Inspection time
FSH examination should be performed at a specific period of the female menstrual cycle. Usually, this period is called the 2-5th day of the menstrual cycle. At this time, the FSH level is relatively low, which is an ideal time point for evaluating ovarian function. Therefore, women should go to professional hospitals for FSH examination in the first few days of each menstrual cycle.
However, it should be noted that the time of FSH examination may be different before female menopause or receiving assisted reproductive technology. During menopause, female hormone levels change significantly, which may lead to an early increase of FSH levels. For women who plan to receive assisted reproductive technology, doctors may carry out FSH examination in advance according to the specific situation.
Inspection method
The FSH examination is usually performed by drawing blood. When a woman goes to the hospital, the doctor will clean her arm and draw a certain amount of blood with a needle. This process is similar to the general blood drawing process and will not be too painful or uncomfortable. The blood samples will be sent to the laboratory for analysis. In the laboratory, professional technicians will test the level of FSH in blood.
Can you do it yourself?
Since FSH inspection requires certain technical and equipment support, it is not recommended to carry out the inspection by yourself. Therefore, in order to ensure accuracy and reliability, FSH examination should be carried out in professional hospitals. Professional doctors and technicians in the hospital will provide scientific and accurate results and diagnosis according to your specific situation.
In addition, professional hospitals can provide more detailed assessment and diagnosis to help understand whether women's ovarian function is normal. Before receiving IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies, a comprehensive assessment and examination of female ovarian function will help doctors to develop appropriate treatment plans.
summary
FSH examination is one of the important indexes to evaluate female ovarian function. It is usually carried out on the 2-5th day of each menstrual cycle, and it is carried out through blood drawing. Since FSH inspection requires professional technology and equipment support, self inspection is not recommended. Professional hospitals can provide accurate and scientific results and diagnosis. For those couples who plan to accept IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies, a comprehensive assessment of female ovarian function is essential to develop appropriate treatment plans.
