Ovulation_Induction (OI) By Dr. Ankita's Fertility Center Monday Medications

Ovulation_Induction (OI):-
Various oral and injectable hormonal preparations are used for ovulation induction. Which one will be used for your Fertility treatment depends on a few factors - what is your ovarian reserve ( AMH + AFC), which treatment is planned ( Timed Intercourse /IUI/ ICSI/ IVF), do you have any other factors such as PCOS, extremely low ovarian reserve, previous surgery on the ovaries ( for cyst, endometriosis).




The dose also depends on your weight, BMI at the time of the treatment.

Ovulation induction agents :

  1.  Oral - Tablets - Clomiphene Citrate, Letrozole 
  2.  Injectable - HMG ( Urinary/ Highly purified) ; Recombinant hormones 


Duration of Ovulation Induction : 

It starts on day 2 or day 3 of your menses ( periods); usually, continue for the next 12 days.
Usually, by day 14/15 the developing follicles reach a size enough to Harbour a mature oocyte ( egg)

What can go wrong with my Ovulation Induction cycle : 

  1.  Poor response: There might be less than 3 developing follicles in total.
  2.  Ovulation Hyperstimulation Syndrome ( OHSS) - too many developing follicles usually seen in PCOS/ PCOD patients 
  3. Empty follicles: Even if we see a good number of developing follicles, they might not yield any oocyte ( egg) for reasons not clearly known.


Do Ovulation Induction drugs have any side effects? 
After the 7th - 8th day of injections, you might start feeling heaviness in the lower part of your tummy.
Some experience back pain, Premenstrual symptoms, breast pain, pain in legs, weakness
Can take symptomatic treatment.

Which cases need Ovulation Induction?

  1.  Anovulatory cycles ( women who do not release an egg every menstrual cycle).
  2.  Unexplained Infertility.
  3.  Cases for IVF / ICSI
  4.  Women with mild ovulation disturbances.

    I am excited to share this testimony, I was 3 years ago diagnosed of fibroid and complicated Endometriosis. My medical condition was heart broken because it was causing my menstrual cramps,bloating before menstrual periods,lower abdominal pressure which result to heavy periods. I was subjected to different medications by my doctor for treatment such as Coenzyme Q10,ibuprofen, Danazol and many more. Despite my visit to several doctors my health wasn't getting better, all they could say was surgery. At the verge of giving up, I went to the internet to search for a treatment at least. But I found a cure instead. In the internet, I read a testimony of a lady who had Fibroid. She shared an e-mail address of the Doctor. Luckily everything seemed to be okay after I took the Herbal Medicine. I wish I could say that’s the end of it because I haven't had any symptoms since then. Do not expose yourself to more danger, use a herbal remedy that is safe and effective. If interested contact him via email address drleetu99@gmail.com.

Tubal Factor Infertility - by Dr Ankita Kaushal

Image
Tubal Factor Infertility : Why are fallopian tubes important? Fallopian tubes are hollow muscular tubes, inside they are lined by hair-like bristles, they originate from the uterine cavity and end on top of ovaries. There are 2 fallopian tubes one on each side. The ovarian end has finger-like structures that help to suck in the egg in the tube after ovulation. The sperms swim from the vaginal cavity into the uterine cavity to the tubes. The egg is fertilized by the sperms in the tubes. This is where embryo forms and starts to develop further. After few days of development in the tubes, the embryo is shifted to the uterine cavity where it implants after which you are pregnant. In case of any kind of damage to the fallopian tubes, the sperms will not reach the egg for fertilization, the embryo might not form, the embryo might not survive in damaged tubes. For all of the above to happen and pregnancy to occur, PATENT AND FUNCTIONAL FALLOPIAN TUBES ARE MOST IMPORTANT.
