The early to mid-follicular phase proves to be the most critical period to evaluate fertility and cycle progression. During days 2 - 3 of the 28-Day cycle, a baseline assessment of LH, FSH, and Estradiol is performed to check ovarian reserve and resting hormone levels. During days 7 - 10, the main focus is on monitoring follicular development via ultrasound and tracking rising levels of estrogen.
During days 12 - 14, the LH surge test is done, which occurs 24 - 36 hours before the egg is released. As the top IVF clinic in Siliguri, Newlife Fertility Centre offers comprehensive female hormone testing.
Once the ovulation is done, the focus shifts to confirming the success of the cycle and checking the endocrine health. During day 21 (mid-Luteal phase), progesterone levels are checked to confirm ovulation. After that, the late cycle window (day 25 - 28) proves to be an ideal time to conduct non-cycle dependent hormonal tests, such as Prolactin, TSH, and AMH.
Although these tests can be done at any point in the month, evaluating them alongside cycle-specific data helps in gaining a comprehensive view of reproductive health.
