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.
