What is the Ovarian Sensitivity Fertility Test?
At Fertility Madrid, we offer you a test to detect a genetic profile of the response to ovarian stimulation.
Approximately 9%-24% of women undergoing assisted reproduction treatment respond worse than expected to the ovarian stimulation protocol selected according to their clinical characteristics.
By way of genomic DNA extracted from a simple blood sample, the receptor gene of the FSH and LH gene is analysed and enables the establishment of the type of gonadotropin in order to achieve a better ovarian response.
In order to maximise IVF success rates, it is crucial to perform effective controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), resulting in 8 to 15 oocytes. However, ovarian response to the follicle stimulating hormone can vary greatly from woman to woman.
Early identification of patients who will have a high or poor response to standard treatment would be of great clinical benefit to patients. On the other hand, this test enables us to anticipate patients who may develop a serious medical condition known as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
When is an Ovarian Sensitivity Fertility Test recommended?
- Patients who are going to undergo controlled ovarian stimulation treatment can take the test in order to find out their pharmacogenetic sensitivity and help the gynaecologist choose the best treatment.
- Patients with low Anti-Müllerian Hormone values (low ovarian reserve).
- Patients with suboptimal response (fewer oocytes than expected) in previous ovarian stimulation cycles.
Benefits of taking an Ovarian Sensitivity Test
- Reduces the time it takes to find the ideal protocol for each patient..
- Enables the personalisation of the hormonal treatment and improvement in terms of Assisted Reproduction treatment efficiency.
- Optimises the number of cycles and reduce gonadotropin expenditure.
