LH hormone testing plays an important role in assessing reproductive health in men and women, mainly to check for infertility and evaluate pituitary problems. So when is LH hormone testing performed?

Infertility is a condition in which a couple cannot conceive after 1 year of living together, having normal intercourse and not using any contraceptive methods. According to research, the infertility rate among young Vietnamese couples is currently 7.7%. Of which, primary infertility is more common than secondary infertility, and the rate in men is often higher than in women.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a technique used in infertility treatment, bringing a high success rate. An IVF cycle includes preparation, egg stimulation, follicle monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer, hormone supplementation, pregnancy testing and monitoring.

Egg retrieval is an important step that determines the success of in vitro fertilization. In this process, mature eggs will be extracted with a needle to be fertilized with sperm in an artificial environment. This can make many women feel apprehensive and hesitant because of the pain. However, the process is very easy if the woman understands the information below.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a fast and highly successful assisted reproductive method, bringing happiness to many families. However, the failure rate of IVF is still not small. In this case, the time to repeat IVF will depend on the condition and health of the infertile couple.

Although the egg retrieval procedure takes about 30 minutes, it can be a stressful and painful process. However, most women can go home within two hours of the egg retrieval if everything is stable. After that, the following care such as daily routine, nutrition, and rest after egg retrieval also need to be ensured, ready for pregnancy after embryo transfer.

Oocyte aspiration is an important part of the IVF process. However, the stages do not always follow each other, and sometimes they need to be interrupted for medical reasons. At this point, if the fertilized embryo is not yet transferred to the uterus, the ovarian cycle will repeat as usual. However, many women still wonder how long after egg aspiration they will have their period.

Most medical centers explain in great detail what will happen during the entire process from the start of IVF to egg retrieval, paying little attention to the stages after egg retrieval, such as how long it takes to transfer the embryo or from embryo transfer to the first pregnancy test. Meanwhile, this is the most stressful stage of IVF, deciding the success or failure of the entire process.
