Do IVF infants need to take drugs in the cycle?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process in which the fertilized egg is cultivated to a certain stage or fully developed into an embryo, and then the embryo is transferred to the mother for pregnancy and delivery. In the process of IVF entering the cycle, whether to take drugs has always been a concern. This problem is described in detail from several aspects below.
Aspect 1: Use of ovulation promoting drugs
In the IVF cycle, ovulation promoting drugs are essential. The effect of these drugs is to stimulate the ovaries to emit more eggs and improve the pregnancy rate. Before using these drugs, doctors will formulate personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients, and comprehensively consider the patient's age, ovarian reserve, periodic monitoring results and other factors.
However, the use of ovulation promoting drugs is not applicable to all IVF patients. Some patients may already have enough eggs available, or their ovaries are allergic, so they are not suitable to use ovulation promoting drugs. Therefore, doctors will decide whether to use ovulation promoting drugs after considering the patient's situation comprehensively.
Aspect 2: Supplement of progesterone and estrogen
In the IVF cycle, progesterone and estrogen supplementation is a common adjuvant treatment. Progesterone is an important progesterone, which can promote the development and maintenance of endometrium and improve the success rate of embryo implantation. The supplement of estrogen is helpful to maintain the good condition of endometrium and increase the chance of pregnancy.
The supplementation of progesterone and estrogen is usually carried out by oral medicine or injection, and the specific dosage and use method will depend on the patient's situation. During the use of these drugs, doctors will closely monitor the hormone levels of patients to ensure proper supplementation and adjustment. However, whether progesterone and estrogen supplementation is applicable to all IVF patients still needs to be judged according to the specific situation.
Aspect 3: Use of other auxiliary drugs
In addition to the above ovulation promoting drugs, progesterone and estrogen, other auxiliary drugs may be used in the IVF cycle, such as antiplatelet drugs, anticoagulants and immunomodulators. These drugs are used to solve some specific physiological problems, such as immune rejection, blood coagulation, etc., to ensure the good development of embryos and the success of pregnancy.
However, the use of these adjuvant drugs is not applicable to all IVF patients. Doctors will judge whether to use these drugs according to the specific conditions and needs of patients, and conduct strict monitoring and adjustment during the use.
Aspect 4: Summary
To sum up, whether IVF needs to take drugs in the cycle is a problem that requires doctors to make a comprehensive judgment based on the situation of each patient. The use of ovulation promoting drugs, progesterone and estrogen supplements and other auxiliary drugs is determined according to the specific conditions of patients, in order to improve the success rate of pregnancy and pregnancy. Therefore, in the IVF cycle, taking drugs is an individualized treatment process, and doctors need to formulate corresponding treatment plans according to the patients' conditions.
