A mixture of fertility drugs and surgery are often used to begin treatment either ahead of or during In Vitro Fertilization. Drugs can help activate egg production for a woman who has uncertain or no monthly ovulation, that is when an egg is made and released every month.
This is referred to as ovulation induction and while you may get pregnant using fertility drugs on their own, they are more frequently used with other treatments such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). One of the fertility drugs used is ‘Clomid’ also referred to as Clomiphene Citrate and is one of the oldest fertility drugs around but it is still used the most. It is used to activate the brain to develop more estrogen which helps to trigger the woman’s ovaries into producing more eggs.
Before In Vitro Fertilization and Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection were common, and easily available, surgical procedures was used more but it can nevertheless be instrumental with infertility. Inflammation and scarring which can result in clogged tubes are an ideal scenario where surgery is still usable, and for infections like Chlamydia. Others include Fibroids, Endometriosis and different conditions affecting the uterus or tubes. Fortunately, these days keyhole surgery is the norm and your physician at the fertility clinic will be the best individual to direct you on available courses of action.
Drugs are not as essential in the handling of male infertility as they are in female treatment. Now and then they may be prescribed for men under special circumstances. Although there is no definitive proof - from time to time men are offered vitamins C and E to aid sperm mobility, and of course antibiotic drugs for inflammation or infection. There are times where a man is unable to make sperm or a vasectomy cannot be reversed so a tiny operation can actually retrieve sperm from the testicles in a procedure called ‘surgical sperm retrieval’.
There is an elevated opportunity of multiple births when using fertility drugs which stimulate ovulation artificially. To slim down the chance of multiple pregnancies, doctors will often cancel a cycle where a large amount of follicles or egg sacks are produced, if fertility drugs are being used in conjunction with Intrauterine Insemination. If you have In Vitro Fertilization, the chance of a multiple pregnancy is restricted by substituting one or two embryos.
