Should You Try Fertility Drugs?

If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for at least one year with no success, it may be time to visit a fertility clinic to discuss your options, including fertility drugs. There are different medications available, some are taken by mouth and some are injected. The right medication for you depends on your individual situation. Some couples use fertility medications in an attempt to conceive naturally, for others it is part of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. IVF is where the sperm fertilizes the egg outside the body in a lab incubator, then the fertilized eggs are inserted into the uterus.

Before a woman's eggs are harvested for donation or IVF, she is given fertility drugs. The reason for this is because the lab wants a larger number of eggs that are strong and healthy, thus upping the chances of successful fertilization. One thing you should be aware of about these drugs is that they can lead to multiple births when multiple fertilized eggs attach to the uterus. Selective reduction can reduce the number of embryos in the uterus, but some women are not comfortable with this, including Nadya Suleman, the woman who recently gave birth to eight babies and Kate Gosselin, who had a set of twins then sextuplets.

One of the most widely prescribed fertility medication is clomiphine. Marketed under the names Clomid and Serophene, this particular medication is often given to women who do not ovulate regularly and especially those who do not ovulate regularly due to a condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome. This medication is sometimes prescribed for men with a low sperm count or for men whose sperm have limited mobility. Clomiphine is the most commonly used of fertility treatments.

Another class of fertility medicines are gonadotropins. These medicines are used when clomiphine has failed. These drugs may also help men with hormonal imbalances as well as women with ovulation problems. Yet another fertility drug out there is bromocriptine. This is for women whose ovulatory difficulties are caused by a benign tumor in the pituitary gland. Whether or not this or any other fertility medications are right for you depend on your doctor's recommendations, your feelings about multiple births and whether or not you have ruled out adoption.
