Is There Any Need Of Infertility Medication Without A Confirmed Infertility?
Hello Doctor,
I am 26 years old Hyderabad based. On July 14th, I got my periods after 1 & half months, induced by 20 tablets of Regestrone tablet, advised by my doctor. I got all my hormonal blood test reports done. They were in normal range. Then I was advised FSH, my size was small. I was given tablets Devisy and Fertyl. In august month scan, first day egg was small, then they grew, then I was given Lupride Injection, it got better, then Pubergen 10000 then again Lupride, though my eggs' size was good, it got released too. I was advised to match with husband. I am currently on Duphaston for 10 days and hope & wait that I conceived. What I do NOT understand is that are these medicines absolutely normal/essential? As we have not been really trying for long, hardly once or twice, we have had unsafe sex, no record/consideration of cycle etc. So why I am under Infertility medication, without a confirmed infertility (as per internet information about these meds)? It is really scary at times, please help.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
I personally advice my patients to try minimum for 1 year to conceive only if she have 28 days regular menstrual cycle with normal 3 to 5 days bleeding. After that I investigate.
In your case since you need to induce your menstrual cycles there could be problem in ovultaion.
I wish you conceive this time. If you couldn't then I advice to get a follicular study. This gives information about your ovulation pattern and time. If you are ovulating normally then no need to take all these hormones and try for 6 months. If you are not ovulating normally then you should take these hormones.
All hormones which you are taking have there side effects like weakness , leg pain etc. But if you get severe side effect like abdomen distension or breathlessness you should inform your doctor and stop medication. But these side effects are rare and it is safe to take them.
Hope I have been helpful
Regards
