What should I do if I have insufficient luteal function? Can making test-tube babies succeed?

With the accelerating pace of modern life, many women are facing the problem of insufficient luteal function. Inadequate corpus luteal function, also known as corpus luteal dysfunction, refers to the lack of endocrine function of the corpus luteal formed after ovulation by the ovary

As a result, insufficient secretion of progesterone, insufficient secretion and transformation of the endometrium, and ovulatory dysfunctional bleeding occurs. It is not conducive to the implantation of fertilized eggs, which can lead to infertility or habitual abortion. Faced with such a dilemma, female friends

Friends often feel anxious and uneasy. So, what should I do if I have insufficient corpus luteal function? Can test-tube babies become our hope to overcome fertility difficulties?

Below, we will provide you with a detailed analysis of all related issues about corpus luteum, so that all friends can fully understand it.

Corpus luteum is an endocrine gland that changes from the remaining follicles in the ovaries after ovulation during a woman's menstrual cycle. It is mainly composed of luteal cells and fluid. When fresh, it appears

Yellow. The corpus luteum forms rapidly after ovulation and plays an important role over a certain period of time. The corpus luteum in the ovaries secretes progesterone, which is a natural progesterone that stimulates estrogen in the body

n

The endometrium has significant morphological effects and is necessary to maintain pregnancy.

Its main role is

1. In the late menstrual cycle, glands in the uterine mucosa will grow, the uterus will be congested, and the intima will be thickened to prepare for implantation of the fertilized egg. After implantation, the fertilized egg produces a placenta and reduces excitement of the pregnant uterus

, inhibit its activity and allow the fetus to grow safely.

2. Under the combined action of estrogen, the breasts are fully developed and prepared for milk production.

3. Close the cervical orifice, reduce and thicken mucus, making it difficult for sperm to penetrate; at large doses, it inhibits the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin through negative feedback on the hypothalamus, and produces an inhibitory effect on ovulation.

4. Can inhibit smooth muscle contraction.

What problems do insufficient luteal function cause?

Inadequate corpus luteum function is caused by insufficient progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum formed after ovulation, which leads to incomplete transformation of the endometrium and ovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

(1) Shorten the luteal phase, leading to shortened menstrual cycles and frequent menstruation;

(2) Incomplete secretion and transformation of the endometrium can cause endless menstruation and prolong the menstrual period;

(3) Insufficient progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum causes the fertilized egg to fail to implant, leading to infertility and habitual abortion after pregnancy.

Scientifically formulate a plan for IVF to support luteal function and help pregnancy!

1. Scientific promotion of emissions

Before entering the IVF cycle, IVFfertility instructorswill first guide women to take drugs to downtune. This is mainly because women have a dominant follicle in several follicles every month. By absorbing the ovaries

Other follicles are allowed to grow, causing other follicles to apoptosis. Therefore, inhibiting the growth of dominant follicles can enable multiple follicles to develop evenly and synchronously and obtain more mature eggs when promoting oocyte retrieval.

tDuring ovulation induction, theIVFwill first formulate an ovulation promotion plan based on indicators such as the woman's age, ovarian function, corpus luteal function, number of basal follicles, and estrogen level. The entire test-tube assisted pregnancy process consists of one

IVFisresponsible for the entire process, monitoring follicles in real time. After multiple blood tests and negative ultrasound examinations, we understand follicular development, estrogen and progesterone indicators, etc., and adjust the amount of drugs in a timely manner.

2. Support luteal function

In the early stage of ovulation promotion, in order to obtain more mature follicles, women need to be given ovulation promotion drugs to promote the synchronous growth and development of many basic follicles in the ovaries. To mature, at the same time, it also suppresses yellow

The secretion of somatopoietin in turn affects the function of the corpus luteum; during the egg retrieval process, a large number of granulosa cells are pumped, which reduces the hormone level in the corpus luteum phase, resulting in insufficient corpus luteum function. Therefore, in the end

After transplantation, progesterone supplementation is usually needed.

The IVFwill inject an appropriate dose of progesterone or HCG according to the woman's physical conditionto promote the proliferation of luteal cells and the synthesis and secretion of progesterone, supporting

The function of corpus luteum promotes the growth of the endometrium, improves the receptivity of the endometrium, enables smooth implantation and development of embryos, and maintains female pregnancy.

tIn addition,E good pregnancyis also recommended to adjust through diet therapy. In your daily diet, adhere to the principle of eating less and multiple meals; consume more foods rich in progesterone, such as soybeans, kiwis, strawberries, etc., to help regulate progesterone

Balancing. At the same time, since the corpus luteal function requires a long period of conditioning to return to normal levels, it is necessary to avoid staying up late, overwork, stay away from harmful radiation, pay attention to rest, and ensure adequate sleep.
