Ovulation Induction (“Fertility Drugs”)
* Injectable (Follistim™, Gonal-F™, Repronex™, Bravelle™): highly purified preparations of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and/or luteinizing hormone (LH) which are taken as subcutaneous injections. These medications provide for a much more potent stimulation than the oral ovulation medications, and as such require much more frequent monitoring.

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside the womb, in vitro. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulation process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman’s ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a fluid medium. The fertilized egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient’s uterus in an effort to establish a successful pregnancy.
