Ovulation by medication
Regulate the menstrual cycle, restorehormonal background of a woman, and also ovulation can be induced with the help of medications. Modern medicine offers a number of drugs that can induce egg maturation. Among such drugs are clomiphene, citrate, clomid, clostilbegyt and others. As a rule, their intake is prescribed starting from the fifth to the ninth day of the menstrual cycle, and the dosage is constantly increasing. It is worth saying right away that ovulation must be induced strictly under the supervision of a gynecologist. The scheme for taking such drugs is different for each woman, the gynecologist will select the one that is right for you. The drug method of inducing the ovulatory process is considered quite effective. But this does not mean that after completing the course you will be able to get pregnant immediately. Only 15% of women get pregnant immediately, the rest conceive over time. The use of drugs to induce ovulation should be carried out for no more than six menstrual cycles. Like all medications, such drugs have their side effects, at the first manifestations of which you should immediately contact your doctor. Those who believe that stimulation of egg maturation is a fairly reliable and safe way to get pregnant faster are mistaken. The consequences of forced stimulation can be irreversible, so you should never induce ovulation yourself with medication.
First you need to prepare
Before you start ovulation stimulation,it is necessary to prepare thoroughly. For several months, it is necessary to keep a so-called ovulation calendar, where you should mark the days when the basal body temperature rises. With such data, you can make a special schedule that will reflect the regularity of the reproductive system. If any failures are observed, do not panic. Sometimes this does not require any treatment, because it also happens that during the year there was no ovulation a couple of times. Before starting drug treatment, you should undergo an ultrasound examination for several months in a row. Ultrasound will most accurately determine the cause of the failure in the maturation of a healthy egg. It is also necessary to take a test for the content of sex hormones. Before ovulation stimulation is prescribed, both spouses must undergo a special medical examination. If the man is infertile, ovulation stimulation is useless. When choosing a method for stimulating the maturation of the female reproductive cell, the doctor takes into account the age characteristics of both spouses, the individual characteristics of each. Taking clostilbegit (a stimulating agent) is necessarily accompanied by an ultrasound procedure, which helps to monitor the process of follicle maturation itself. When the follicle size reaches about 18 mm, a woman needs to take a stimulating agent. After taking the drug, ovulation usually occurs in 24-36 hours. This does not mean that conception will necessarily occur after the first attempt. The woman's age, the cause and duration of her infertility play a significant role here.
Stimulation of maturation of the female germ cell by means of vitamins
Before planning a pregnancy, a womanyou should prepare well. Very often, problems with conceiving a child arise due to improper nutrition and lack of essential vitamins. The diet of the expectant mother should be balanced and rational. It is very important for a woman to provide the body with folic acid. Lack of folic acid has the most direct negative impact on the intrauterine development of the baby. It is very important to prevent iodine deficiency in the body, so you should eat iodized salt. The immune system must be thoroughly strengthened. Nutrition should contain all the necessary vitamins and microelements. The diet should include raw fruits and vegetables, cereals. Sauerkraut is very useful, containing vitamins and fiber. It is important to know that before you start stimulating ovulation, you need to normalize thyroid hormones, male hormones and prolactin. It is also possible that after all these hormones are normalized, ovulation will occur on its own.
The main stages of stimulation of egg maturation
When choosing clostilbegyt as a remedy forstimulation of the ovulatory process, its intake should be started on the fifth day of the menstrual cycle and finished on the ninth day. If Puregon or Menogon was chosen to stimulate ovulation, then the intake should be started on the second day of the cycle and finished approximately on the tenth day. The exact start and end dates of the intake will be determined by the attending physician, based on the observations made. The duration of the stimulation procedure itself depends on the condition of the woman's ovaries and uterus. A few days after the start of the stimulation procedure, an ultrasound scan should be performed, which is then repeated every two or three days. Ultrasound monitoring should be carried out until the follicle size is 20-25 mm. In order to prevent the process of follicle regression, the doctor may prescribe an injection of the hormone hCG, which will help start the process of egg maturation. Most often, stimulation of egg maturation with clostilbegyt leads to the fact that conception occurs soon. The doctor can also determine the number of necessary sexual acts and their frequency. It is recommended to follow everything the doctor prescribes. If ovulation does not occur after using clostilbegit, after the third course of treatment, additional examination should be carried out and treatment methods should be changed. Before starting the procedure for stimulating the egg, you should pass all the necessary tests and exclude the presence of any inflammatory processes. Any inflammatory process is a serious contraindication for the procedure, because it can significantly worsen the patient's condition. Stimulation is possible with the help of such drugs as Gonal and Menopur. These drugs can replenish the endocrine gland of the pituitary gland with hormones, control the entire process of follicle maturation and promote ovulation. Both drugs are available as injections for oral administration (intramuscularly or subcutaneously). Before starting the procedure for inducing the ovulatory process, you must obtain a conclusion from a therapist that you are able to bear a child. A mandatory procedure is a blood test for immunity to rubella. In addition, the patency of the fallopian tubes is examined, because fertilization of the egg occurs here. There are several ways to assess the patency of the fallopian tubes. Among these methods are transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy, laparoscopy and metrosalpingography. The choice of method is made by the doctor based on the available indications. The absence of ovulation can be the result of excessive thinness, polycystic ovary syndrome, dysfunction of the pituitary gland, stress, excessive physical activity, hormonal imbalance, diseases, etc.
Stimulation of ovulation through traditional medicine
The ovulatory process can also be stimulatedfolk methods, without resorting to drug treatment. The best remedy for stimulating the maturation of the egg is considered to be a sage decoction. Sage contains many substances that resemble estrogen (female hormone) in their composition. To prepare such a decoction, you need to take 1 tablespoon of sage and pour a glass of boiling water over it. When the decoction cools, it should be filtered. It should be taken 30 minutes before meals 4 times a day. It is advisable to start taking sage decoction on the fifth or sixth day of the onset of the menstrual cycle. The course of treatment is eleven days. It is not recommended to use this decoction for more than three months. You should take a break for 2 months, and then repeat the treatment again. A special healing mixture made from aloe leaves also promotes stimulation. To prepare such a mixture, you need to take an aloe plant at least five years old. Before cutting the leaves, it is not recommended to water the plant for about a week. Cut aloe leaves should be put in the refrigerator for a week, and then finely chopped. Add lard, melted butter and honey to the chopped aloe leaves. For one teaspoon of aloe you will need 6 spoons of honey, the same amount of butter and lard. Before use, one tablespoon of the resulting mixture should be melted in a glass of warm milk, taken twice a day. A decoction of rose petals perfectly promotes the maturation of the egg. In order for the ovaries to function normally, they need vitamin E, which is found in large quantities in rose petals. One glass of freshly picked flower petals should be poured with a glass of boiled water, and then put on the gas for 15 minutes. After this time, leave the decoction for another 45 minutes until it is properly infused. Take the decoction before bedtime, one or two teaspoons. The course of treatment should not exceed two months. There are many different means for stimulating ovulation. Before choosing any of the means, it is recommended to consult with your gynecologist, who will select the most suitable one. It may be necessary to take some tests, the results of which will allow you to choose the right treatment.
