Cycle monitoring
Hormone measurements may support decisions during stimulation, ovulation induction and frozen-embryo transfer preparation.
In-house monitoring • connected decisions
Hormone testing that stays close to your care team.
RCA’s in-house endocrinology laboratory is designed to support coordinated cycle monitoring and timely clinical review, with testing interpreted alongside ultrasound, medication response and history.
Why in-house matters
Shorter handoffs. Clearer coordination.
The value is not speed alone; it is the connection between the specimen, the result and the clinician responsible for the treatment plan.
Integrated review
Laboratory values are considered with ultrasound findings, symptoms, medication timing and prior response.
Quality systems
Calibration, controls, documentation and result review support reliable laboratory operations.
Patient journey
What to expect from monitoring.
Testing frequency and the specific hormones ordered depend on the protocol and how the cycle is progressing.
01
Before treatment
Baseline testing may help confirm readiness and identify questions that should be addressed before medications begin.
02
During stimulation
Serial results can help the physician assess response and determine whether timing or dosing should change.
03
Before a key step
Testing may support decisions around trigger timing, insemination, retrieval, transfer preparation or luteal support.
04
After testing
The care team communicates clinically meaningful instructions through approved channels; a number alone is not a treatment directive.
Do not change medication or timing based only on a portal result. Follow the instructions provided by your RCA clinical team.
A coordinated next step
Monitoring is most useful when the whole picture stays connected.
Ask your team what is being measured, why it matters and when to expect instructions.
