Many patients come to IREGCI with a common question: "Doctor, my periods are normal, why do I need to have blood tests?"
Hormonal studies, really?
The answer is fascinating: Your blood tells the story your ovaries can’t reveal to the naked eye.
Hormonal testing is the compass of fertility. Before starting any treatment, we need to understand how your brain and ovaries communicate. If the “chemical messengers” (hormones) don’t carry the correct message, pregnancy won’t occur.
Here we explain, without complicated terms, what we look for in your blood and why it is vital for your diagnosis.
This is perhaps the most valuable test available today.
These hormones are usually tested between days 2 and 4 of your period.
Sometimes, the problem isn’t in the ovaries, but in neighboring glands.
This is usually measured on day 21 of your cycle. It confirms whether you ovulated or not, and whether your body is producing enough “bubble” for the embryo to implant in the uterus.
You might think, “I can get this done at any lab.” And it’s true, the blood draw is the same. But the interpretation isn’t.
At IREGCI, we don’t deal with paperwork, we treat patients. A value that a general practitioner considers “normal” could be the subtle cause of your infertility for a reproductive specialist. We analyze your hormones in conjunction with your ultrasound and medical history. We don’t just look at isolated numbers; we see the complete picture of your body to chart the shortest path to your baby.

Most procedures are minimally invasive and are performed with anesthesia or pain-reduction measures.
It depends on the couple’s age, diagnosis, method used, and overall health. A specialist can estimate your personalized probability.
