How Can Hormonal Levels Be Checked Before IVF Or IUI?
I have been trying to get pregnant last 18 months but it's not happening. I start taking profesional approach to analyse or find the reason.
I have acne problem as well which I believe it caused by unbalanced hormon. And it may be affecting my pregnancy. I visited GP asking for an answer. The doctor provided me a letter to proceed further analysis at city hospital.(Coventry) My husband took semen test. And the result was an average one. I did further checks by inserting a liquid inside my vigina to see if the tube is open or closed. And the result seems OK.(Tube is open)
During the test, doctor pointed that my egg was quite big. And asked me, when last period started? I answered 7 days ago. Doctor said, are you sure? .....
Test finished and the doctor offered two options. 1 IVF, 2 UIU. But not further analysis on my body/hormons before going for medical treatment. It is right? Aren't there any other option at NHS? Can't the doctor check my hormon pricisely?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] first of all do not panic.
2] your tubes are patent, and husband semen analysis is normal.
3] USG guided ovulation study will help to know date of egg formation.
4]On day 2 of coming cycle ,it is advisable to get blood test for basic hormones - FSH, LH, Prolactin, AMH.
This helps to know basic hormonal levels.
5] With patent tubes and good semen report , you stand good chances of getting pregnancy with timed intercourse around date of egg formation or doing IUI on the day of egg formation.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
