Bloodwork

An important factor that influences a woman’s fertility is the number of  eggs she has to work with during treatment, and this quantity can be assessed by hormone testing.

Between days 2–4 of the menstrual cycle, a blood sample can be obtained for the measurement of follicle stimulating  hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) hormone. Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is another hormone used to assess egg quantity, or ovarian reserve, and can be checked at any time of your menstrual cycle.

Lastly, there are some pre-pregnancy laboratory tests that may be important for your reproductive health and pregnancy. These may include things like your blood type, a thyroid level, among others. Dr. Sueldo & her team will individualize each blood draw depending on your unique case.
