In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex fertility treatment that helps couples with fertility problems conceive. Prior to IVF, it is essential to thoroughly evaluate reproductive health to identify underlying causes of diminished fertility. This test helps in planning effective treatment strategies and screens for infectious diseases that can complicate pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is tested?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Measures ovarian reserve and oocyte potential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Regulates follicle development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLH (Luteinizing Hormone)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Triggers ovulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstradiol\u003c\/strong\u003e – Primary estrogen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProlactin\u003c\/strong\u003e – Can affect fertility at elevated levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eD-dimer\u003c\/strong\u003e – Thrombosis risk marker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTSH (Thyroid Function)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Important for fertility and pregnancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete blood count\u003c\/strong\u003e – Checks for anemia and infections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlood type\u003c\/strong\u003e – Including rhesus factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHIV\u003c\/strong\u003e – Screening for HIV infection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHBAg (Hepatitis B antigen)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Active hepatitis B infection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHBc (Hepatitis B core)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Previous or current hepatitis B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHCV (Hepatitis C)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hepatitis C screening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRubella (Rubella antibodies)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Immunity to rubella\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToxoplasmosis\u003c\/strong\u003e – Screening for toxoplasma infection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLues (Syphilis)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Syphilis screening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChlamydia IgG\u003c\/strong\u003e – Previous chlamydia infection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVZV (Varicella Zoster Virus)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Chickenpox immunity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy should you get IVF Blood Testing?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test is essential for fertility problems, routine fertility investigations, during IVF procedures, or when planning an IVF course. The AMH value provides insight into your ovarian reserve (number of remaining oocytes) and predicts how your body will respond to IVF stimulation. Hormonal values such as FSH, LH, and estradiol determine cycle quality. Infection screening is mandatory in IVF clinics to protect mother and child and prevent vertical transmission. Test on day 2 of the menstrual cycle for optimal hormonal values. Labplusarts collaborates with various IVF clinics abroad and can send results directly to your treating physician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does it indicate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results provide a complete picture of your fertility and pregnancy risks. Low AMH (below 1.0 ng\/mL) indicates diminished ovarian reserve and a lower chance of IVF success. High FSH (above 10-15 IU\/L) also points to reduced reserve. The LH\/FSH ratio helps diagnose PCOS. D-dimer assesses thrombosis risk during pregnancy. Infection screening identifies treatable infections that can cause complications. Absence of rubella or VZV antibodies means vaccination is required before pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a high level mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh AMH (above 5-7 ng\/mL) may indicate PCOS and an increased risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome during IVF. Elevated FSH indicates diminished ovarian reserve and poorer IVF prognosis. Elevated D-dimer indicates an increased risk of thrombosis. Positive infection tests (HIV, hepatitis, syphilis) require treatment before IVF and special precautions during pregnancy. Elevated prolactin can disrupt ovulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a low level mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow AMH (especially below 1.0 ng\/mL) means diminished ovarian reserve, lower chance of pregnancy, possibly poorer response to IVF stimulation, and the need for higher medication doses. Very low AMH may indicate impending menopause. Low estradiol on day 2-3 of the cycle is normal, but elevated values may indicate reduced oocyte quality. Absence of antibodies against rubella or VZV means no immunity and requires vaccination at least 3 months before attempted conception. This comprehensive screening optimizes IVF success and pregnancy outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BloedCheckup","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52454602113370,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/store.bloedcheckup.nl\/nl\/collections\/vruchtbaarheid.oembed","provider":"BloedCheckup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
