1. Ovulation-stimulating injection

It contains two gonadotropins, FSH and LH, and mainly has the effect of FSH, while the effect of LH is very small. It can promote the maturation of follicles and the secretion of estrogen. If the pituitary gland and ovary have certain functions, the positive feedback effect of estrogen produced can indirectly cause the pituitary gland to secrete sufficient LH and induce ovulation. If the pituitary gland is hypofunctioning, chorionic gonadotropin will be needed to induce ovulation and maintain corpus luteum function.

Generally, ovulation induction takes about 10 days. It depends on individual circumstances. How many days depends on your own growth condition and the degree of drug absorption. Some women have good ovarian function and it only takes a few days, while others may need ovulation induction for half a month or even longer. In addition, each person's plan is different, and the time for ovulation induction between long and short plans is also different. There are also differences in the drugs required, etc. You should consult your attending physician for details.

3. Precautions during ovulation promotion

Women should pay attention to a nutritious and balanced diet during ovulation induction. Appropriately add some high-protein foods, such as milk, soy milk, fish, shrimp, etc. Keep your clothes loose, wear cotton underwear as much as possible, change and wash them frequently to avoid discomfort caused by increased vaginal discharge after taking the medicine and prevent infection. Try to get enough sleep and rest on time. Do not engage in strenuous exercise after ovulation induction. Because as the follicles grow, the ovaries also grow larger, to avoid situations such as ovarian pedicle torsion or ovarian rupture.
