To enhance the likelihood of achieving pregnancy during your IVF cycle, a combination of medications will be administered. Based on your individual circumstances, your physician will determine the type, timing and dosage that best suits your needs, then closely monitor your body's response.

 

Some common infertility medications and their uses include:

 

Antagonists - Prevents premature ovulation and the midcycle hormonal surge that can result in cycle cancellation.

 

Doxycycline - When taken by the male, reduces levels of seminal bacteria that could interfere with sperm performance during an IVF cycle. When taken by the female, decreases the risk of infection following egg retrieval.

 

GnRH Agonists - Encourages the growth of multiple, high quality eggs during an IVF cycle.

 

Gonadotropins - Stimulates the fluid-filled sacs, or ovarian follicles, to develop multiple eggs.

 

hCG - Encourages the eggs' final development prior to retrieval.

 

Medrol - Prepares the uterus for embryo implantation.

 

Progesterone - Ensures adequate amounts of progesterone are in the body following egg retrieval until the placenta begins producing its own.
