Infertility Treatment Options

Making the decision to grow your family should be a joyous time for any couple, but it isn't always as easy as it's sometimes made out to be. There are many factors that can impact your and your partner's ability to have children, but the good news is that in many cases these are treatable. But to determine which infertility treatment options are best suited for your own individual needs it's best to get in contact with a professional, such as Dr. Anya Rose and Dr. Megan Gau of Rose Women's Health in Arcadia, CA.

Medication

Most of the prescribed medications that your doctor may recommend typically work by helping to stimulate ovulation. There are different ways that they do this depending on the drug.

Some cause the body to make more of the hormones that cause eggs to mature, others decrease the amount of estrogen so the ovaries release the eggs, and some treat problems that can interfere with the ovulation process.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

In vitro fertilization involves the fertilization of an egg in a lab setting before it is then introduced into the uterus. It is often suggested when other treatments have not been successful, for advanced maternal age, health issues, and for same-sex couples.

It can help when there is a low sperm count and donor eggs can also be used during this treatment.
