how is egg growth stimulated?

Answer 1

The process of stimulating the development of multiple eggs which can be fertilized is called "controlled ovarian hyperstimulation". In order for the body to grow eggs, the brain secretes FSH which acts directly on the ovary to stimulate egg maturation. Fertility medications, such as Gonal-F, Follistim, Bravelle, Repronex, etc. are essentially concentrated FSH preparations, which are given by subcutaneous (SQ) or intramuscular injection (IM). These medications have been used for over 20 years. They are reconstituted from a powdered form. The method of administration will be shown to you by one of our nurses. These medications cause follicle growth and egg maturation within the ovary.
