Male perspective
For azoospermia, inhibin B is more informative than FSH: preserved values increase the chance of finding sperm with microTESE (the operation is available in the clinic) - it is important for the couple to know the prognosis before the intervention. In women, the test clarifies controversial cases of reserve. Available in the morning; in women - days 3–5 of the cycle.
When is it appointed?
- assessment of ovarian reserve before planning and IVF;
- confirmation and monitoring of early pregnancy (hCG);
- male infertility - inhibin B as a marker of spermatogenesis;
- forecast of response to ovulation stimulation;
- control after ectopic pregnancy and curettage.
Reserve and pregnancy
AMH shows the supply of follicles regardless of the day of the cycle - the main guideline for reproductive plans and IVF protocols; HCG confirms pregnancy days before the delay and monitors its development based on the dynamics of doubling; inhibin B reflects the functioning of Sertoli cells in men and granulosa cells in women. These tests answer the couple's most pressing questions with precise numbers.
