Patient's question:
Female, 36 years old, newly married, has been wanting to prepare for pregnancy for a while, but she's not sure what the follicles will look like. Please ask: Will the follicles still grow after taking antagonists?Doctor's answer:
Ovulation induction and egg retrieval need to be determined based on individual physical conditions and follicular development, generally around 12 days. The antagonist protocol for ovulation induction is also relatively safe. For patients with poor ovarian function, a thorough examination will be conducted three days after menstruation. If the mother's constitution and conditions are suitable, ovulation-stimulating drugs can be used for induction. During the IVF process, when the follicular diameter grows to more than 12 millimeters, GnRH antagonists are started. Whether the follicle will grow needs to be confirmed after the medication is administered.
