Infertility drug – is a medication used to treat infertility in men and women. Infertility drugs can be prescribed separately and in combination with other forms of treatments. They work by increasing hormone production in the system, helping to produce eggs of a better quality in women and more testosterone in men. Nowadays, a great variety of infertility drugs is available.

Types of Infertility Drugs

Clomid is one of the most effective and popular infertility drugs. It works by stimulating mature eggs production by the ovaries – an essential factor increasing the chances of getting pregnant. Clomid is very popular in the UK and is available in online pharmacies throughout the USA.

However, it might exert negative influence on the unborn child; therefore, if a woman is pregnant she shall stop taking the drug and see her doctor right away.

Clomid acts on the brain making it think that there’re low estrogen levels in body. Clomid regulates the release of three major hormones responsible for conception of a child:

1. Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)
2. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
3. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

That results in mature eggs production by the ovaries.

Clomid drug is also useful for anovulation, PCOS, and irregular period treatment. The medication must be taken on particular days of the menstrual cycle. It either should be on the days 3 to 7 or 5 to 9 of the menstrual cycle. The first starting dosage of Clomid must be 50 mg. In order to know whether it is effective for a specific woman, she must take it for several cycles. If no ovulation occurs the doctor probably will increase the dosage. In case of no improvement in 6 cycles, probably Clomid doesn’t work for that woman and she must stop taking it and consider other treatment options.

Progesterone

The infertility in women is also associated with low level of progesterone – a natural hormone, important to have regular menstrual cycle. Is appears after the ovulation and is necessary during pregnancy to maintain a 12-week-old placenta. In order to get pregnant a woman must combine progesterone and infertility treatments.

Progesterone is an essential part of in vitro fertilization. Progesterone, increasing the blood flow to the uterine lining makes it to thicken for conception, which is helpful for the fetus to get attached to it. Therefore, progesterone and infertility treatments are very effective together.

Progesterone, however, can be the cause of some side effects:

1. Mood swings and depression
2. Breast tenderness and discomfort
3. Headache
4. Nausea

In case of suppository usage, additional vaginal discharges might take place. But apart from all, progesterone and infertility treatments are proved to be quite safe. If you have had serious illnesses consult a specialist before taking progesterone and infertility treatments.

Hypothyroidism Medication

If you are suffering from hypothyroidism or low thyroid, probably, it is the cause of your irregular ovulation cycles, overweight, fatigue and ….infertility. In a man it results in erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and low level of testosterone.

If you are taking thyroid medication and you are pregnant, you should be very careful with it, so it doesn’t affect the placenta and won’t transfer on the baby through mother’s milk.
