1
New cards
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
A blood test that measures ovarian reserve (egg supply).
2
New cards
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
Regulates menstrual cycles and egg development; tested early in cycle.
3
New cards
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
Triggers ovulation; often tested mid-cycle or with ovulation predictor kits.
4
New cards
Estradiol (E2)
A form of estrogen, measured to monitor follicle development.
5
New cards
Progesterone
Helps support the uterine lining; measured after ovulation or during pregnancy.
6
New cards
hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
The hormone detected in pregnancy tests and used to trigger ovulation in IVF.
7
New cards
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
Sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation to increase chances of fertilization.
8
New cards
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
Eggs are retrieved, fertilized outside the body, and implanted in the uterus.
9
New cards
Egg Retrieval
A procedure where eggs are collected from ovaries using ultrasound guidance and a needle.
10
New cards
Embryo Transfer
A fertilized embryo is placed into the uterus.
11
New cards
HSG (Hysterosalpingogram)
An X-ray procedure to check for blocked fallopian tubes.
12
New cards
Saline Sonogram
An ultrasound that checks the uterus for abnormalities.
13
New cards
Clomid (Clomiphene)
Stimulates ovulation.
14
New cards
Letrozole (Femara)
Another medication for ovulation stimulation.
15
New cards
Gonal-f / Follistim
Injectable fertility hormones that stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple follicles.
16
New cards
hCG Trigger Shot (e.g., Ovidrel)
Triggers final egg maturation before retrieval or IUI.
17
New cards
Progesterone in Oil (PIO)
Used post-IVF to support the uterine lining and early pregnancy.
18
New cards
Infertility
Inability to conceive after 12 months (or 6 months for women over 35).
19
New cards
Ovulation Monitoring
Tracking ovulation via ultrasounds, hormone levels, or at-home kits.
20
New cards
Luteal Phase
The phase after ovulation, important for implantation.
21
New cards
Blastocyst
A mature embryo ready for implantation, usually on Day 5 of development.
22
New cards
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
Transfer of a previously frozen embryo into the uterus.
23
New cards
Antral Follicle Count (AFC)
Number of follicles seen via ultrasound early in the cycle — indicates ovarian reserve.
