Control cycle

During a control cycle, the menstrual cycle of the woman is evaluated by an ultrasound of the ovariesTwo glands the size of a plum (3-5 cm), located on either side of the uterus, where the eggs are located. The ovaries produce the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. and uterusPear-shaped organ that contains and nourishes the fetus during pregnancy, which contracts in a powerful and rhythmic manner at birth to expel the fetus. and hormone assays in blood (estradiolEstradiol belongs to the estrogen group of female hormones produced mainly by the ovaries. Estrogen is responsible for the development of physical characteristics of the adult female. It ensures that the uterine lining is prepared for implantation of a fertilized egg. It regulates the secretion of FSH and LH and strengthens the effect of the other major sex hormone, progesterone., progesteroneFemale sex hormone secreted by the corpus luteum after ovulation. Its task is to prepare the uterine lining (endometrium) for the implantation of the embryo. If  pregnancy occurs, the placenta is then responsible for the further production of progesterone., luteinizing hormone). A spermEjaculated spermatozoa and secretions during the male orgasm. test (spermiogram), a test of spermEjaculated spermatozoa and secretions during the male orgasm. penetration in the cervical mucusMucous secretion of the cervix of the uterus, through which the migration of spermatozoa into the uterus and fallopian tubes occurs. The amount and consistency of cervical mucus changes at the time of ovulation to allow sperm access to the fallopian tubes where fertilization of the egg takes place. (collected in peri-ovulatory phase) and an examination of the fallopian tubes (hysterosalpingogram) can also be carried out.

Tests for determining the immune and infection status of both partners to various diseases (HIV, hepatitis B and C, rubella, chlamydia, etc ...) are carried out routinely.

When in vitroLatin for "in glass" for example in a test tube, as opposed to processes taking place inside the body. fertilizationFusion of an egg and a spermatozoon, fertilization occurs naturally in the fallopian tubes. treatment is considered, these investigations may be supplemented by more specific analyses in spermEjaculated spermatozoa and secretions during the male orgasm. (acrosin and immunofluorescence of tubulin, measures the movement of spermEjaculated spermatozoa and secretions during the male orgasm. in semen and washed native) and genetic level (karyotyping, search for mutations in the CFTR gene for cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, etc ...).
