Can Fertility Drugs Help You Conceive?Fertility drugs, such as Clomiphene, Gonadotropins, and Bromocriptine help to promote ovulation. As the frustration of not being able to conceive could be caused by a woman not regularly ovulating. Without ovulation the opportunity does not exists for an egg to be fertilized. However, in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome many underlying issues can make conceiving more difficult, than just failure to ovulate.
A large disadvantage of fertility drugs are the unknown affects ten, twenty, thirty years from now on your health. Remember that the use of fertility drugs has only been widely used for a couple decades; making the long-term effects on your body relatively unknown. Taking drugs to promote ovulation increases the likelihood of multiples, which could mean more complications during pregnancy, miscarriage, or premature labor. Have you seen the list of side effects associated with Clomid? Here are just a couple, blurred vision, irritability, and depression. Although, I don’t complete agree with the Western medical approach towards fixing infertility I want to make myself clear I do believe much can be admired in all the technological advances in Western medicine. That by utilizing Western and Eastern medicine in harmony a lot can be accomplished for the benefit of the patient. Before you consider taking fertility drugs to help with your infertility it’s important to consider other ways to naturally improve your fertility. Make sure you’re maintaining a healthy weight and body mass index. Eating a PCOS-friendly diet is essential to support getting pregnant; your body needs to be balanced, the food you eat has a direct impact on this. I'll be completely honest; I will probably never take fertility treatments to conceive. I don't want to put my body through that, after all I only have one body; it’s already been put through a lot. My confidence in my decision is I know there are better alternative options for treating PCOS infertility. I believe I'll conceive naturally with the assistance of an acupuncturist, naturopathic doctor, or herbalist, if I need it. As a woman with PCOS myself, I understand your desire for children. I love being around children and one day hope to have a healthy baby. The thought of being told by doctors that I probably can't get pregnant; doesn't consume me. It use to be all I thought about, but I realized I wasn't living my life. Instead, I was worrying about my future, that isn't a way to live. I know I say this continuously, but it is true; focus on the changes you can make! By decreasing your PCOS symptoms you’re increasing your fertility!
