Super Ovulation Induction

FSH

FSH or Follicle Stimulating Hormone is used to help the ovaries produce eggs. There may be a risk with multiple births as more then one follicle can develop. When using FSH ultra sound scans will be performed regularly to monitor the number of follicles developing. In addition FSH also thickens the lining of the uterus to aid implantation. When the follicles are a certain size approximately 18mm or above, then another injection will be advised which is HCG.

Dominant Follicle

HCG

HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin is a drug which enables the egg to further mature. It also aids the release of the egg in the follicle. Timed intercourse or the IUIprocedure will be scheduled so that sperm will be present when the egg is released from the follicle, in order for fertilization to take place in the fallopian tube.
