The very nature at the genetic level is the desire of every living creature to reproduce and continue a kind. However, for a person, children are a huge joy in life, and not just some physiological need. Any woman sooner or later begins to think about what she wants a child. But, unfortunately, not everyone can get pregnant. For the fair sex infertility or suspicion of it becomes a huge stress, to overcome which only the onset of pregnancy helps. That is why, first of all, it is very important to find a really good doctor who is a competent specialist who loves his job. It is a professional doctor who should help a woman in fulfilling her dream of having a baby. An experienced specialist will prescribe the passage of all necessary examinations, tests, and then identify the cause of pregnancy and prescribe effective treatment.
Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to the problem of conceiving children. Therefore, many drugs are being developed that can help a woman get the desired pregnancy. So, for example, often appoint "Duphaston" for conception. This drug is able to make up for progesterone deficiency, which often causes infertility.
In order to make it more clear in which cases Duphaston is prescribed and how it works, a little theory needs to be considered. In the body of a woman, a number of hormonal processes occur, as a result of which each menstrual cycle in the ovaries ripens one follicle (in rare cases, two or three). The first part of the cycle, which is considered from 1 day of menstruation to ovulation, is called estrogenic (or follicular). Its duration for each woman can be completely different. The second phase of the cycle, which is calculated from ovulation to the last day before the onset of menstruation, is called the "corpus luteum phase." Its duration should be 12-16 days. Thus, the absence of pregnancy can be for two reasons:
- Ovulation does not occur at all (the reasons can be very diverse).
- Ovulation occurs, as a result of which a yellow body appears on the site of the follicle, the phase of which lasts less than 10 days.
Moreover, in the first case, treatment should be directed to stimulate ovulation. In the second case, hormonal progesterone drugs are usually prescribed, the most common of which is now Dufaston.
The drug "Dyufaston" acts on the same principle as the female sex hormone progesterone, which is synthesized by the ovaries and provides the second phase of the menstrual cycle. During pregnancy, progesterone maintains its proper course and promotes the onset of childbirth. Duphaston acts on the same receptors that are sensitive to progesterone. This explains the effectiveness of the drug "Dyufaston" for conception. It should be noted that other drugs have no effect on other hormones such as prolactin, estrogens, androgens.
It must be said that if Duphaston is prescribed for conception, then the course of treatment should be long enough (usually it is at least 6 cycles). When pregnancy occurs, the drug continues to be drunk as maintenance therapy for some time. Doctors often recommend drinking it all the first and second trimester of pregnancy. A woman taking this drug should know that you can not refuse it abruptly. It is necessary to stop taking it gradually, reducing the dose so that a miscarriage does not occur.
In general, you should be aware that under no circumstances can you independently determine how to take Duphaston to conceive a child. It is necessary to consult a doctor. After the necessary examinations, he will determine for you an individual scheme for how to drink Duphaston in order to get pregnant. It is very important to adhere to all the doctor's recommendations, as neglect of them can lead to a number of undesirable complications. So, for example, if Duphaston is taken incorrectly and irregularly, and ovulation can stop, and there may be a complete hormonal malfunction in the woman’s body, after which it will be necessary to restore it for a long period, with great effort.
It is worth recalling that Dufoston is a hormonal drug that can “behave” differently in a woman’s body, causing various changes, not all of which can be predicted and prevented. That is why its use should be constantly monitored by your attending physician.
