Microgynon 30

Just a little bit a day about the medications that I consume daily - oral or intravenous.

The month before all the injections start, Dr F gave me Microgynon to consume orally. I've had Microgynon on my IUI, previous IVF and now prior to the current treatment. Microgynon is commonly known as "the pill." It is a hormonal contraceptive pill containing synthetic versions of female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. Thus taking the pill kinda trick your body to over-riding your normal menstrual cycle. Microgynon comes in a strip of 30, and one for each day.

The pill works it's wonders by tricking your body that ovulation has already happened and this prevents an egg from ripening and being released. So however many times of "activity" you had while on the pills, nothing is gonna happen.

Having the pills prior to the IVF treatment ensures that when you starts all those hormonal treatment, you are not pregnant.
