What is a bad moisture reading

In IVF treatment, the embryo requires an adequate moisture level in the uterus for successful implantation and subsequent development. The optimal moisture level is approximately 6-8%.

What is a bad moisture reading?

A bad moisture reading is a level below the optimal range, typically below 6%. Low moisture levels can hinder embryo implantation and development.

Effects of Low Moisture Reading:

  • Impaired embryo implantation
  • Increased risk of miscarriage
  • Reduced pregnancy rates

Causes of Low Moisture Readings:

  • Low estrogen levels
  • Uterine abnormalities
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Underlying medical conditions

Improving Moisture Readings:

Improper membrane permeability is the root cause of poor moisture readings, which hinder the passage of moisture into the uterus. Treatments are available to address this issue, including:

  • Estrogen supplementation
  • Intrauterine fluid administration (IUI)
  • Immunosuppressive medications
  • Corrected medical conditions

Conclusion:

Proper moisture levels in the uterus are essential for successful IVF treatment. Low moisture levels can be caused by various factors and can negatively impact embryo implantation and pregnancy rates. Treatment options exist to improve moisture readings and increase the chances of conception.
