Hormone test

AMH（Anti-Mullerianhormone）is a hormone secreted by developing follicles and is thought to be an indicator of a woman's ovarian reserve.
AMH is secreted from the anterior antral follicle, and its measurement correlates with the number of developing follicles.
Therefore, by measuring AMH concentration, it is possible to measure the number of remaining follicles and estimate the age of the ovaries.

A hormone that promotes the maturation of follicles and is an indicator of ovarian reserve.
It is known that FSH increases when ovarian function declines, but because FSH fluctuates greatly depending on the menstrual cycle, it is difficult to accurately predict ovarian age from FSH values.

It is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain and is closely related to ovulation and reproductive function.
Luteinizing hormone is a very important hormone that affects the ovaries and causes ovulation.It not only promotes ovulation induction, but also turns the follicles after ovulation into luteinized follicles and promotes the secretion of progesterone.
It is an essential hormone for ovulation, regulation of the endometrium, and maintenance of pregnancy once pregnancy is established.
Progesterone levels are determined through a blood test, and are often tested along with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which is also secreted by the pituitary gland.

A hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary gland that acts on the mammary glands and regulates milk production and secretion, and is mainly suppressed by dopamine in the hypothalamus.
Blood prolactin levels increase during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

A hormone secreted from granulosa cells within the follicle as the follicle develops.
It indirectly serves as an indicator of the maturity of the egg, thickens the endometrium, and makes it easier for implantation.
It is thought that when follicular hormone levels remain high above a certain level, an LH surge that promotes ovulation occurs.

The follicle after ovulation is called the corpus luteum, and hormones are secreted from the luteinized granulosa cells within the follicle.
Progesterone thickens the lining of the uterus, making it easier for a fertilized egg (embryo) to implant.
It also has the effect of raising body temperature, increasing the basal body temperature.
However, an elevated body temperature and elevated luteinizing hormone levels alone are not evidence of ovulation, as the follicle may luteinize and produce luteinizing hormone (luteinized unruptured follicle: LUF) without an egg being released from the follicle.
