Why do we need injections?
injection is a relatively quick and simple way to promote ovulation. The main purpose of ovulation stimulation is to obtain more eggs.
Then someone will ask, why can ovulation stimulation harvest more eggs?
This starts with our ovaries. In fact, when we women are born, we already have a certain number of follicles . These follicles will continue to decrease with age. And we women will have a batch of follicles developing every month. In this batch of follicles, there is usually only one dominant follicle, , which releases eggs. The remaining follicles will gradually wither and die.
The purpose of IVF ovulation induction is to mature the remaining follicles together to obtain more eggs.
Some people are worried that this will use up our eggs in advance?
In fact, there is no need to worry about this, because these follicles will shrink and die on their own if they do not develop well. By stimulating ovulation, in vitro fertilization can be used to obtain more eggs during egg retrieval, so the follicles will not be consumed in advance.
So what is the general process of in vitro fertilization?
Mothers who have done in vitro fertilization should know that there are two words to remember when doing ovulation promotion, persistence!
