Gonal F stands for follitropin alfa which is a natural hormone that is used to stimulate the follicle (egg) to develop and mature appropriately. Gonal F is primarily used when a woman wants to have a pregnancy, but is having problems with their ovaries due to a lack of sufficient follicle maturation.
What Does Gonal F Do?
Gonal F works by providing women who are struggling to produce mature ovulations do so by providing them with two hormones that their bodies are lacking in LH and FSH. This helps stimulate the ovaries and combined with treatments like IVF can help increase the woman’s chances of pregnancy. Stimulating the follicles will help the chances of pregnancy increase for the woman when treatments like IVF are provided after the Gonal F medications have been taking.
Gonal F can also be taken by men who need to help get their sperm counts to rise. After sperm counts rise it is much easier for the fertility center to be able to harvest sperm to inject into the egg to create the needed embryo. This embryo is used in the next step of the IVF treatment as it is put into the woman’s uterus to try to help the pregnancy to be induced.
How Does Gonal F Help Improve Fertility Chances?
Gonal F supplies the body with synthetic versions of the natural sex hormones that are needed to create mature sperm and eggs that have the best chances of being fertile and creating an embryo. The idea is that this when implanted this embryo will have the best chance of turning into a successful pregnancy when implanted in to the uterus. The FSH hormones that are injected with effect the testicles and men and ovaries in women to help produce the more mature sperm or egg(s) respectively needed to create this mature embryo.
What Doses Are Available?
Gonal F comes in three main dose categories and they are Gonal F 300 IU, Gonal F 450 IU, and Gonal F 900 IU. Your doctor or fertility clinic will determine which of these doses is the best fit for your personal needs based on the levels of FSH hormones already available in your body, and what the dose needs to get to before mature sperm/egg(s) are able to be produced. That’s the dose of the medication that will be necessary to treat the condition of low FSH you are experiencing. If one dose doesn’t do the job, a higher dose can always be given, but generally they will want to use the lowest dose possible while still being effective in treatment.
