The report predicts the efficiency of your hormones and hormone receptors which determines your success for IVF. It further allows your doctor to individualize the IVF protocol for you instead of batched treatment protocols. Studies over the last two decades have shown tremendous success in IVF and pregnancy rates resulting from the test results.
Science
Genes tested: LHB, FSHR, ESR1
Hormones act on the ovaries to produce eggs by binding to specific hormone receptors. Mutations in genes for the hormones and their receptors lead to reduced function. This in turn causes inefficient hormone and receptor activity leading to cancelled cycles and IVF failure. Your genes guide your tailored IVF protocols determining hormone dosage and timing thereby boosting IVF and pregnancy success rates.
