What pills promote fertility?

Women who are planning a pregnancy, but are faced with setbacks, often ask the all-knowing Internet about which pills can promote conception. There are many drugs, and there is also enough information about them. But the question itself is posed incorrectly and in the wrong place. It is not a worldwide network that should be asked about drugs, but a gynecologist. This specialist, after a thorough examination and tests carried out, will be able to find the cause of the decrease in fertility and, if necessary, prescribe medications that will help in a particular situation.

In this article, we will give a brief overview of the drugs that can take place in the treatment of infertility or at the planning stage of pregnancy in certain situations.

How to treat infertility?

Much depends on the reason why the long-awaited conception does not occur. The problem may not lie in the woman, but in the man. And in 40% of cases this is exactly what happens.

The forms of male infertility are varied, but almost all amenable to therapy. The main thing is to persuade a man to visit an urologist-andrologist and donate sperm for a spermogram. Based on the results of this analysis, the cause will be established with great accuracy.

If the factor of infertility is still female, then again there can be many reasons. Here are just a few:

disruptions of the menstrual cycle, hormonal disorders, lack of sex hormones;
being overweight, obese, or underweight;
inflammatory diseases of the endometrium;
inflammatory and adhesions in the fallopian tubes;
ovarian dysfunction, lack of ovulation;
chronic stress;
infectious diseases, including sexually transmitted diseases.

Each of these situations requires its own treatment. So, with hormonal infertility, hormonal drugs are used to level the background and create favorable conditions for conception and subsequent pregnancy. In the case of the infectious nature of infertility, antibiotics are prescribed, and in case of inflammation - anti-inflammatory drugs.

In this case, the choice of funds can be carried out only after the exact causative agent of the disease is known.

In case of endocrine disorders in a woman, it is recommended first to lose weight, normalize nutrition, and only then conceive a child. In most cases, pills for such infertility do not exist at all, but it is enough to reduce body weight by only 5% and it turns out to become pregnant. Tubal and cervical infertility, when sperm either cannot enter the uterine cavity, or the movement of sperm and a fertilized egg through the tubes to the implantation site is difficult, sometimes, in general, require surgical intervention.

There is also an immune factor when a woman's body perceives a man's embryo or sperm as a foreign protein and rejects them. Such infertility requires treatment with immunosuppressive drugs that suppress the activity of the immune system.

A large proportion of female infertility is due to the so-called idiopathic factor, when the true cause cannot be established. All tests are within normal limits, but pregnancy does not occur. How to treat this condition is not yet clear to science. In most cases, assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF help solve the problem.

Psychogenic infertility associated with stress, panic internal fear of childbirth, requires the use of sedatives and correction of the condition, not without the help of an experienced psychotherapist. As you can see, there can be as many drugs as there are reasons. That is why it is important to establish why conception does not occur. The doctor will help with this.

General characteristics

All means that promote conception, in one way or another, are associated with the impact on the reproductive system of women and men. Most drugs act as regulators of the sex glands. There are drugs in the form of tablets, ointments and gels, vaginal suppositories, injections. Without understanding the reason why conception does not occur, it is extremely difficult to determine the group of drugs.

According to their pharmacological action, all drugs that can help with infertility can be conditionally divided into two large groups:

medicines (hormonal, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, antiviral, etc.);
Dietary supplements and vitamins (means that are recommended as auxiliary in the complex treatment to increase fertility).

If medicines without medical indications and prescriptions are at best useless, and at worst (which is more likely) harmful, then biologically active additives and vitamin complexes can be taken independently. Acceptable does not mean recommended yet. But if time suffers and you do not want to go to the doctor for infertility, you can try some of the drugs from the second group. Let's talk about them in more detail.

Products for men

Preparations for men from the category of dietary supplements and vitamin preparations aim to establish the process of spermatogenesis. This process is quite long - it lasts about 3 months, therefore, the course reception of such funds is designed specifically for 3-6 months. The composition of such funds contains zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, as well as vitamins E, A, C, group B, necessary for male fertility. Sometimes, plant substances are added that increase potency, make the composition of sperm better, more active and viable.

Male preparations always contain vitamin D, which is necessary to increase sex drive and sperm motility. Here are some effective remedies for a man who is planning to conceive a child:

"Alphabet for Men";
Viardot Forte;
Complivit;
"Proffertil";
Sperm Active;
Spermastrong;
Selzink Plus.

By themselves, drugs from this list may be ineffective if spermatogenesis disorders are serious, deviations in the spermogram are significant. But it is with such drugs that the treatment of male infertility always begins. If there is no effect for six months, a decision can be made in favor of hormonal agents, anti-inflammatory or surgical treatment. In the most extreme case, it is possible to perform IVF with ICSI (intracytoplasmic injection of sperm into the egg under a microscope).

If a representative of the stronger sex in the process of preparing for conception will only drink pills or capsules, the result may not be at all.

Preparation will require a man to give up bad habits (to improve the morphology and increase the viability of sperm), healthy and complete protein nutrition (to improve the process of spermatogenesis), full night sleep and a normal psychological state without stress and worries.

Preparations for women

Preparations for women have a mild effect on the work of the ovaries and hormonal levels, in connection with which the cycle is normalized.

For ovulation, a balanced combination of sex hormones is important: if there is a "skew", ovulation may not occur.

Means for the fair sex, which promote conception, sometimes contain phytoestrogens - plant analogues of female sex hormones.

Without fail, a woman is recommended for quick conception vitamin complexes with the indispensable presence in their composition of folic acid, vitamins E and A. At the same time, a woman needs much more vitamins than a man, because it is not enough for her to improve the quality of oocytes, she still needs to endure and give birth to a long-awaited child. This requires a solid supply of nutrients "for the future."

Therefore, the composition of women's preparations includes an increased content of calcium and magnesium. The presence of vitamin K is necessary. With vitamin A, which is so welcomed in male preparations, a woman needs to be more careful, since an overdose of retinol often leads to fetal malformations. A woman also needs zinc, B vitamins, especially vitamins B6 and B12.

Drugs that help a woman to conceive should be started about 2 months before the expected date of conception.

What drugs can be useful:

Elevit Pronatal;
Vitrum Prenatal;
"Mom's Alphabet";
"Materna";
"Compliment Mom";
"Pregnavit";
"Aktifert" (gel);
Ovariamin;
boron uterus;
sage.

The best results can be achieved if a woman takes drugs at the same time as a man. It is not worth waiting for a too fast result, all drugs have a cumulative effect. A woman should also give up bad habits, lead an active and healthy lifestyle, eat a sufficient amount of healthy food rich in proteins (meat, fish, dairy products), solve the problem of extra pounds, if any.

Advice on admission and reviews

Each drug has its own indications and contraindications, its own regimen, which must be indicated in the instructions for use attached to it. But the general rules for taking dietary supplements and vitamins for men and women are as follows.

Do not drink vitamins on an empty stomach, it is better to do it after meals and at the same time with meals.

A lot does not mean good, so you should not combine several drugs at once, this will cause an overdose of vitamins and a violation of the absorption of certain minerals.
If it is necessary to take antibiotics, hormones, anticonvulsants or psychotropic drugs, taking drugs that stimulate fertility, you should stop for a while and return to the course of taking such drugs only after the end of the treatment of the disease.
Remember that stress is a common cause of family mutual infertility, and therefore, during pregnancy planning, do everything possible to ensure that the microclimate in the family is favorable and benevolent. You should also avoid stressful situations outside the home.

Women who are interested in whether drugs for conceiving twins always baffle pharmacists in pharmacies. Medications do not affect the likelihood of having twins. The exception is hormonal agents that are used in certain forms of endocrine infertility, stimulating hyperovulation with the maturation of not one, but two or even three eggs at once. Such drugs for independent use are categorically contraindicated, they are used only with a doctor's prescription in the IVF treatment cycle or to correct the natural cycle of women with synthetic sex hormones.

According to women, in the desire to become pregnant, many are ready to go to any experiments with their health. They try traditional medicine, drink decoctions of herbs, do douching with them. If traditional methods do not help, women become interested in dietary supplements and vitamins. The most positive reviews about "Ovariamin", borovoy uterus and the drug "Materna".

The male drugs, which, according to women, helped to put the spermogram in order, are SpermActive and Spermastrong. There are also reviews that none of the "first line" drugs had any effect. When contacting a doctor after that, as a rule, the cause of infertility was identified, far from metabolic disorders and vitamin deficiency.

When choosing tablets or capsules for joint administration, spouses need to be especially careful, since the market for drugs that promote conception is overflowing with homeopathic remedies, the effectiveness of which has not been proven.
