How does fertomid help in infertility?
Patient: I am a 25 , mother of a 6 year old girl. Got married last year and have been trying to concieve but to no luck.. My GP put me on fertomid but i want to know how it works and if it is successfull.How long do I have to take it before it helps. What more can I do..? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing to HCM .Fertomid is ovulation inducing agent. It means it helps your follicles to grow properly and mature . It also cause multiple follicles to grow. This increases the chances of conception.  I would suggest you to undergo follicular study which will tell you are ovulating properly or not. If your ovulation is proper you can continue min 3 cycles of fertomid.If there is not adequate response to fertomid then you need to add fsh inj with that. But follicular study is must whenever you take fertility tablets. I would suggest you to take hcg inj or leupride after discussing with your doctor when your follicle size is more then 19mm.I wish you concieve with this . But if it fails then you need to get tubal patency test.One more thing I want to suggest is you get your hormone test done if not done yet. Like thyroid profile, serum prolactin, fsh and Lh.Hope I have been helpful .RegardsDr.Deepika Patil
