Hormone therapy and follicle monitoring

Hormone therapy

Hormonal disorders have a negative impact on the female cycle, which also leads to reduced fertility. A hormonal imbalance can easily be corrected with medication. In the event of delayed or absent follicle maturation, hormonal stimulation – either with pills or hormone injections – is the treatment of choice. A corpus luteum defect in the second half of the cycle can also be treated with appropriate hormones.

Follicle monitoring

Follicle monitoring can be performed as part of an ultrasound examination. The number, size, and growth of the follicles is checked during the first half of the cycle. Ovulation is triggered at the optimal time with a hormone injection. This is then followed by sexual intercourse or intrauterine insemination.
