Common drugs for IVF lowering
Test tube baby technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for infertile patients. In the process of IVF, doctors often use some drugs to lower the pregnancy rate. These drugs can help regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation process of the woman and create good conditions for successful pregnancy. The commonly used drugs for IVF will be described in detail in the following four aspects.
Drug 1: ovulation promoting agent
Ovulation promoting agent is one of the most commonly used drugs in IVF. It can stimulate ovarian ovulation and increase the chance of pregnancy. Common ovulation promoting agents include Clomid, Serophene, etc. These drugs stimulate ovarian ovulation by inhibiting the negative feedback of estrogen.
Generally, ovulation promoting agents are taken from the 2-5th day of menstruation and last for 5-7 days. The doctor will adjust the dose and use time according to the specific situation of the patient, and monitor the growth of follicles through ultrasound. Once the follicle grows to the proper size, the doctor will use the terminator to promote ovulation.
The use of ovulation promoting agents may cause some side effects, such as the development of multiple eggs, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, etc. Therefore, the use of ovulation promoting agents needs to be closely monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Drug 2: Luteinal Supporter
Luteinal support agents are also commonly used in IVF. It can help maintain the luteal function and promote the implantation and development of early embryos. Common luteal support agents include human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), progesterone, etc.
The use of luteal support agent usually starts within a few days after conception and continues to the early stage of pregnancy. The specific dosage and use time need to be determined by the doctor according to the patient's situation. Improper use of luteal support may lead to early abortion, so it needs to be used correctly under the guidance of doctors.
Drug 3: anticoagulant
In the process of IVF, doctors sometimes use anticoagulants to reduce the risk of embryo implantation failure. Anticoagulants can help prevent blood coagulation, promote blood flow, and improve the success rate of embryo implantation. Common anticoagulants include low molecular weight heparin, etc.
The use of anticoagulant needs to be carried out under the guidance of the doctor, and the dosage and use time will be determined according to the patient's situation. During the use of anticoagulants, doctors will closely monitor the blood coagulation function of patients to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Drug 4: androgen
Androgen is also used in IVF. It can help increase the thickness of female endometrium and improve the chances of embryo implantation. Common androgens include thyroxine, etc.
The use time and dosage of androgen should be determined by doctors according to the specific conditions of patients. During the use, it is necessary to monitor the hormone level of patients and the thickness of endometrium to ensure the best effect.
To sum up, the drugs commonly used in IVF include ovulation promoting agents, luteal support agents, anticoagulants and androgens. These drugs can help regulate the menstrual cycle, promote ovarian ovulation, support luteal function and increase endometrial thickness, creating good conditions for pregnancy and embryo implantation. However, drug use needs to be conducted under the guidance of doctors, closely monitored and ensured to be safe and effective.
