I often encounter patients who ask the following question: Will IVF hurt the ovaries? Western medicine is all hormonal, is it better to use Chinese medicine to promote ovulation? Will too much ovulation medication cause premature ovarian failure? I believe that many people have the same questions and concerns about these issues. So below, some common misconceptions about ovulation promotion we come together to open a small kitchen. Myth #1: Western medicine for ovulation is hormonal and hurts the body. It is true that some of the Western medicine for ovulation are hormone analogues, but we don’t need to talk about hormones. Under the guidance of an experienced doctor, these hormonal drugs play a role in making the follicles grow and develop better and do not have much effect on ovarian function. Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothalamic amenorrhea have problems with follicle development and lack of some hormones in their bodies. If we don’t use ovulation drugs, the follicles will not develop well and they will not ovulate, so it will be difficult to conceive a baby. Of course, we can not endlessly promote ovulation, appropriate to give the ovaries time to rest, and the dosage of promotion should be mastered, these believe that professional doctors will set a suitable program for you to promote ovulation. Myth #2: Ovulation will affect the quality of the eggs and the baby born will be a hormonal baby. So far, the safety of IVF is reliable and there is no such thing as “hormonal babies”. It has been reported that excessive doses of ovulation may cause chromosomal abnormalities in the eggs, resulting in poor embryo quality, so too high doses are not recommended in the process of ovulation. According to the results of our center’s long-term visits, the health and intelligence of babies successfully delivered through various methods of pregnancy assistance are comparable to those born in natural pregnancies. Myth 3: Chinese medicine is not harmful to the body and is better than western medicine in promoting pregnancy. Chinese medicine is concerned with conditioning and treating the root cause, so our center also carries out various Chinese medicine programs hoping to cooperate with the treatment in all aspects. However, there are certain hidden dangers in taking Chinese medicine for a long time. Some Chinese medicine ingredients may increase the load on the liver and kidneys when used for a long time, and some patients have a general effect on Chinese medicine for ovulation and slow follicle growth, and the prescriptions of different doctors may be very different. In contrast, the dose of Western medicine for ovulation promotion is relatively easy to control, the ingredients are clearer and the effect is more stable. Both Chinese and Western medicine have their own advantages, so hopefully you can find the right solution for you under the guidance of your doctor. Myth 4: IVF takes many eggs and will lead to premature ovarian failure. IVF requires ovulation to increase the number of eggs retrieved and to match more quality embryos to improve the success rate. The first thing we need to understand is that we only grow one egg per month, but now we are promoting so many eggs at once, will the ovaries become bad? First of all, it is important to understand that every month we have a large number of eggs in our ovaries, and one of the more hormone-sensitive follicles will dominate and develop into a mature follicle and be expelled. So there are a large number of “innocent” eggs that “die” due to insufficient hormone levels in the body. IVF Ovulation Promotion hopes to “turn the waste into treasure” by using ovulation drugs to utilize these follicles that would otherwise be atretic. Therefore, ovulation will not affect the ovarian reserve too much and will not result in “premature ovarian failure”. However, we do not advocate high doses of ovulation because the quality of the eggs is more important than the quantity. With a high success rate, we hope that you will find the right solution for your pregnancy, and that you will be able to safely, comfortably and efficiently promote ovulation, so that you can get your wish soon!
