How It Works

This medicine works by mimicking the natural gonadotrophin signals that the pituitary gland sends to the ovaries. It binds to receptors on ovarian cells and drives the growth and maturation of follicles. As follicles grow, they produce oestrogen, which prepares the lining of the uterus for a possible pregnancy. When the dominant follicle is mature, the treating clinician usually triggers ovulation with a separate medicine. This medicine does not cause ovulation by itself in every case, so it is used as part of a monitored fertility plan.

Mechanism Steps

1
Binding to ovarian receptors: This medicine binds to gonadotrophin receptors on the surface of granulosa cells in the ovary.
2
Activation of intracellular signalling: Binding triggers cyclic AMP signalling inside the ovarian cells, which switches on genes needed for follicle growth.
3
Follicular recruitment and growth: Several small follicles are recruited and begin to grow under the influence of this medicine.
4
Oestrogen production: Growing follicles produce oestrogen, which thickens the uterine lining and prepares it for implantation.
5
Ovulation trigger: Once a mature follicle is ready, the clinician triggers ovulation with a separate medicine so that the egg can be released.

💧
Get regular moderate exercise such as walking or swimming.
🧘
Manage stress with relaxation techniques, yoga, or counselling.
🌞
Sleep for seven to eight hours each night to support hormonal balance.
🚭
Avoid smoking and tobacco products because they can reduce fertility.

🏋️ Exercise Considerations

Moderate exercise is generally safe during fertility treatment, but avoid intense or high-impact workouts when your ovaries are enlarged because of the risk of ovarian torsion. Ask your doctor before starting any new exercise programme during treatment.

🥗 Diet Recommendations

Include plenty of leafy green vegetables and whole grains.
Choose lean protein sources such as fish, beans, and poultry.
Limit sugary drinks and highly processed foods.
Stay well hydrated with water throughout the day.
