	Gonadotropin treatment for infertility - [Medication]
		Gonadotropins are given by injection to help the body make hormones needed for egg or sperm production.
		During gonadotropin treatment, frequent monitoring of egg follicle development is necessary.
		Gonadotropins should only be used by doctors who are specially trained in infertility and who are familiar with the management of possible complications.

		Pergonal and hCG are given in a sequential manner for the induction of ovulation and pregnancy in the anovulatory infertile patient when the cause of anovulation is functional and not due to primary ovarian failure (inability of the ovaries to respond to any hormonal stimulation, often due to a postmenopausal condition).
		Novarel (chorionic gonadotropin for injection) is used for induction of ovulation and pregnancy in the anovulatory, infertile woman when the cause of anovulation is secondary and not due to primary ovarian failure, and when the women has been appropriately pretreated with human menotropins.
		Profasi (human chorionic gonadotropin) is indicated for ovulation induction and pregnancy in the anovulatory, infertile women when the cause of anovulation is secondary and not due to primary ovarian failure, and who has been appropriately pretreated with gonadotropins.

		First, a hormone is used to "shut down" the pituitary, which puts the ovaries in a menopause-like state (menopausal symptoms are common).
		A gonadotropin treatment is then used to stimulate ovulation on a certain day.
		Gonadotropin treatment with human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) or recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) (for women and men with low levels of reproductive hormones) stimulates egg or sperm production.

	SIRM: GONADOTROPINS: HOW THEY WORK AND THE RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR ADMINISTRATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Gonadotropins are hormones produced by the pituitary gland and which stimulate sex hormone production as well as gamete (sperm and egg) production in the man /woman.
		This is because a menopausal woman's pituitary gland, in response to a feedback message that her ovaries are no longer producing enough estrogen, increases the output of FSH and LH in an effort to re-stimulate the failing ovaries.
		Possible side effects of gonadotropin administration include over stimulation that can threaten the woman's well-being include enlargement and "weeping" of the ovaries, a condition in which a large amount of fluid is exuded into the abdominal cavity.

		Gonadotropins can help you conceive if you tried taking clomiphene (another fertility drug) but your body didn't respond to it.
		Gonadotropins can also help men who have a hormonal imbalance (that originates in the pituitary gland or hypothalamus) linked to a low sperm count, or poor sperm quality or motility (its ability to move).
		The newer, purer gonadotropins such as Gonal F and Follistim cause fewer side effects and can be injected using smaller needles subcutaneously (under your skin).

		No statistically significant difference in the outcomes was observed with respect to the dose of gonadotropins administered, the number of oocytes retrieved or the clinical pregnancy rate.
		The use of a low-dose agonist protocol reduced the number of gonadotropin ampoules used and the duration of stimulation, increased the number of mature oocytes, and reduced the cancellation rate.

		These two hormones are known as gonadotropins, and both are produced and released in the brain by the pituitary gland.
		Administering gonadotropins via the SQ route also has the advantage of allowing a woman to self-inject the medication, whereas IM injection requires the assistance of a health-care provider or partner.

		The exact etiology of this disease entity is unknown, but it is suggested that some patients might be born with a fewer than normal number of oocytes. On the other hand, some may exhibit excessive gonadotropic stimulation, thus the depletion of oocytes is accelerated.
