It seems incredible that oral contraceptive pills can help infertile women get pregnant. But Japanese researchers have found thatoral contraceptives can improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization. Starting oral contraceptive pills one month before undergoing in vitro fertilization can allow a woman\’s ovaries to fully rest, thereby enhancing the viability of eggs.
During in vitro fertilization, a woman\’s eggs are collected and mixed with sperm. After fertilization in a culture tube in the laboratory, the embryos are reinserted into the uterus. In order to increase the number of eggs, some women usually take drugs to stimulate follicle growth.
The researchers studied 40 infertile women with intact ovaries. Among them, 32 women\’s infertility was caused by male factors, and the cause of infertility in 8 women was unknown. They had failed multiple in vitro fertilizations. . However, after taking oral contraceptive pills for one menstrual cycle and then performing in vitro fertilization, the pregnancy success rate increased from 9% to 23%.
One of the causes of female infertility may be that the ovaries’ constant ovulation affects the quality of eggs. Oral contraceptives inhibit the ovarian ovulation cycle and extend the ovarian ovulation cycle from 1 month to 2 months, thus improving the quality of eggs and laying the foundation for the success of in vitro fertilization.
