Which medications are commonly used to stimulate egg production in IVF and how do they work to promote the development of multiple eggs during the ovarian stimulation phase?
Common IVF medications include Follistim and Gonal-F, which are forms of FSH. They stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs by increasing FSH levels.
1. FSH injections stimulate ovarian follicles, encouraging multiple eggs to develop, supporting effective IVF cycles.
2. Gonadotropins like FSH and LH are used in IVF to directly stimulate the ovaries, increasing egg production for retrieval.
3. Medications such as hMG, containing LH and FSH, target ovarian receptors, effectively boosting egg maturation and quantity for IVF.
