One of the intricate
medical procedures do include IVF. This is because it's not just one step
process but several small steps that will help with the fertility or prevention
of any genetic disorders when the conception occurs. Here are some of the tests
that is done before and during the IVF treatment:

1. Tests for ovarian reserve:
a) Ultrasound Scan to test antral follicle:
If the number is less than 5 it indicates a poor ovarian reserve and more than
10 indicate possible ovarian hyperstimulation
b) Simple blood tests for ovarian reserve are
specifically AMH, FSH, and Estradiol hormones. The ovarian reserve is indicated
by AMH, high FSH levels mean very low ovarian reserve and this might have an
impact on IVF finally.
2. Semen test:
The
sperm sample provided is sent to the lab for evaluation. This test evaluates
the shape, concentration, and motility of the sperm. If the male infertility is
noticed, the process of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
(ICSI) is carried out that includes the procedure for insertion of sperm into
the egg carefully with tools for micro-manipulation.
3. Test for prolactin levels:
One
of the important hormones called Prolactin is important for milk production in
women. In case these levels are too high, the probability of preventing
conception also goes high. Therefore the result will help the doctor on
deciding specific medication that can be given.
4. Infectious disease screening test:
Doctors can screen
patients for some serious diseases like Hepatitis B, HIV, Rubella, Chlamydia
and Varicella. There can be some serious complication in case these diseases
are there on the fetus and can be life-threatening as well.
These
are some tests
during IVF treatment that the doctor can ask you to get done.
