Ovulation Induction & Monitoring
One of the major causes of female infertility is either complete absence of or abnormal ovulation. Successful production of oocytes is influenced by numerous hormones with very delicate balances that create the woman's normal cycle. Frequently the production is off balance, resulting in poor or no ovulation. A more important step to restoring good ovulation is to attempt to reestablish a balance of hormones through fertility drugs such as clomiphene citrate (Siphene), HMG (human menopausal gonadotropin), FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), or hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). To maximize the chances for success it is necessary to measure these hormones through blood tests, as well as evaluate the growth and development of the follicles containing eggs by ultrasound assessment.
Timed Intercourse
Opportunities for conception are significantly increased by timed intercourse to ovulation. This is determined through hormonal and ultrasound monitoring. Patients with ovulatory dysfunction are treated with fertility medications. |

Gonadotropin Cycles
Gonadotropins are fertility medications that contain follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which is produce naturally by the pituitary gland, alone or combined with luteinizing hormone (LH), also produced by the pituitary gland. A related medication is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is structurally similar to LH and simulates the natural LH (ovulation) surge.
Gonadotropins are used to induce follicle development and ovulation in women who do not ovulate. They are also used to induce development and ovulation of multiple follicles in women undergoing advanced reproductive therapies such as in vitro fertilization, or superovulation and intrauterine insemination. There are a variety of gonadotropins commercially available Careful monitoring of patients is required when gonadotropins are used in order to minimize the risk of side effects, such as ovarian hyperstimulation and multiple gestation.

Uterine Cavity Assessment (Sonocontrast Hysterography)
Sonohysterography (SHG) is an ultrasound-monitored procedure similar to a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), and is used to detect abnormalities of the uterus and fallopian tubes or tubal blockage. The indications for its use overlap with those for an HSG.
Sonohysterography can be performed as an office procedure. It usually involves
So far, no limit has been established for how long human semen can be frozen when maintained and stored in appropriate liquid nitrogen storage. Scientific literature shows conclusively that sperm motility, viability and morphology are not affected by proper long term cryopreservation.
The placement of a speculum into the vagina through which a catheter is positioned in the uterus
A saline solution is injected into the uterine cavity
At the same time, a transvaginal ultrasound is being performed. There is no radiation and no iodinated contrast material involved.
Sonohysterography can be used to evaluate the endometrium and Fallopian tubes. For endometrial evaluation, SHG plays a role in an infertility workup.The injection of saline into the endometrial canal (uterine cavity) acts to separate the two sides of the endometrium and improve the visualization of masses, such as polyps. In addition, the saline acts as a contrast medium, which can make abnormal intraluminal structures, such as synechiae (adhesions), visible. Submucus myomas (fibroids which displace the endometrium) may be better evaluated when an SHG is performed.
An SHG can also be employed to evaluate the Fallopian tubes for patency. When the saline is injected, some of it may be seen flowing from the tubes into the pelvis, a finding that confirms patency.
Sonohysterography is an excellent procedure for evaluation of the endometrium and tubal patency. It has the added advantages of no radiation exposure, no iodinated contrast injection (which can be associated with increased discomfort and allergic reactions), and the potential for fewer complications. SHG also offers the advantage that ultrasound of the uterus, ovaries and pelvis can be performed at the same time. Thus, uterine masses and other abnormalities may be discovered which would have been missed during a conventional HSG. However, to evaluate the Fallopian tubes for more than just patency the HSG gives better information.
