HMG WILL IT INCREASE LOW SPERM LEVELS?

Human Menopausal Gonadotropin, also known as hMG, is an
injectable fertility drug that contains equal amounts of FSH and
LH. They are sold under the brand names of Menopur and Repronex.
The LH and FSH in these drugs is derived from the urine of post
menopausal women who produce the hormones in excessive amounts.
The urine is extracted and purified, and then used to make the
injectable medications. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests –

What is hMG?
hMG’s are used much like other injectable fertility medications.
These medications will stimulate your ovaries to induce
ovulation while also helping your ovaries to produce one or more
eggs. These injections are usually started on day two or three
of your period, and continued through days 8 to 14. After that,
under a doctor’s watchful eye, a woman will be checked until her
follicles are ready and mature. Then, an additional injection of
hCG will be given to induce ovulation and then it is time to try
to get pregnant!
What does hMG do?
Human Menopausal Gonadotropins are used to induce ovulation in
women with several conditions such as PCOS, Endometriosis, our
problems with their pituitary gland (the gland that produces LH
and FSH). The injections are given as intramuscular injections,
or injections directly into the muscle. The doctor can train a
woman or her partner to be able to give the injections at home
and not in a doctor’s office setting. The actual act of getting
used to giving the injections is usually the hardest part of
injectable fertility treatments.
What are the side effects?
Some women do suffer from side effects of hMG’s. The most common
side effect is hyper-ovarian stimulation. This is where too many
follicles form inside the ovaries, and it can cause pain and
discomfort in the abdominal area. Also common with hMG’s are
mood swings, headache, weak or achy feelings, and enlargement or
tenderness in the breasts. You should also know that 40 percent
of women who get pregnant on hMG’s get pregnant with twins or
multiples.
What is its success rate?
Around 80 percent of women who start taking hMG’s will begin to
ovulate within three cycles. Around 60 percent of these women
will end up pregnant. That is a great success rate, although of
course not all of those pregnancies will be carried to term.
You should also be aware that the cost of hMG’s is quite high:
around $2000-$5000 for each cycle, and you might need up to six
cycles. This medication is not always covered by insurance, so
make sure you check with your doctor about that. The cost of the
medication does not include other treatments that might be
required in conjunction with it, such as IVF or IUI treatments.
