IVF Chengdu: What drug treatments are available?

IVF refers to the method of using assisted reproductive technology to fertilize and cultivate embryos in the laboratory in vitro, and then transfer the embryos to the female uterus to achieve pregnancy and delivery. In Chengdu, many hospitals provide IVF treatment and use different drugs to help patients improve their chances of pregnancy.

Ovulation promoting drugs

Ovulation promoting drugs are used to help women ovulate, which can stimulate the ovary to produce more follicles. In IVF treatment, ovulation promoting drugs are usually the first step. Common ovulation promoting drugs include:

1. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hMG)

HMG is a hormone preparation extracted from human plasma or urine, which can promote follicular growth and ovulation. It is usually used by injection, and the dosage is determined by professional doctors according to individual conditions and treatment plans.

2. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

FSH is a hormone that promotes the growth and development of follicles and can be used by injection or nasal spray. FSH injection can be customized according to individual conditions and treatment needs.

3. Human chorionic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue

GnRH analogues can inhibit the secretion of ovulatory hormone in early stage and reduce the irregular ovulation. These drugs can control ovarian reactivity and increase the success rate of embryo transfer by reducing spontaneous early ovulation.

Adjuvant treatment drugs

In addition to ovulation promoting drugs, some adjuvant drugs are also commonly used in IVF treatment to improve the chance of pregnancy.

1. Human chorionic gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH antagonist)

GnRH antagonists can inhibit the early development of follicles and ovulation, and prevent uncontrolled early ovulation. It is usually used in patients with a high risk of ovarian overreaction and can reduce the development of multiple follicles.

2. Human chorionic gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH agonist)

GnRH agonists can promote ovarian hyperstimulation, increase the number and quality of follicles, and inhibit early ovulation. It is usually used for patients with poor ovarian function to increase the chance of successful pregnancy.

3. Progesterone

Progesterone is a luteinizing hormone, which can maintain endometrial thickness and support embryo implantation. In IVF treatment, progesterone is often needed to increase the probability of pregnancy.

Treatment process management

IVF treatment usually requires strict drug management and process monitoring.

1. Drug dose adjustment

The doctor will adjust the dosage of drugs according to the patient's response and ovarian response. Regular ultrasound examination and blood hormone determination are helpful to determine the appropriate drug dosage.

2. Controlled follicle maturation

By monitoring the size and number of follicles, doctors can determine the best time to conceive. After the follicle matures, the fertilization process is controlled by drugs that terminate ovulation.

3. Embryo transfer support

Drugs play an important supporting role in the process of embryo transfer. Common drugs include anticoagulants and immunosuppressants to prevent embryo rejection and improve the probability of implantation.

Summary

In the treatment of IVF in Chengdu, ovulation promoting drugs such as hMG and FSH, and GnRH analogues regulating follicular development are often used. Adjuvant drugs include GnRH antagonists and agonists, and progesterone supplementation. The treatment process requires strict drug management and process monitoring. Through rational use of drugs, patients can improve the chance of IVF successful pregnancy.
