For those longing to have a little girl or a little boy, the inability to conceive can be devastating. If you've dreamed of having a baby, but are having trouble getting pregnant, the Silverman Center in Westchester, New York offers fertility services. Dr. Andrew Silverman, MD, PhD has given innumerable families the gift of life.
A woman's ability to conceive is reliant on substances called hormones. The hypothalamus, which is a specialized part of the brain, is in charge of releasing Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone, called GnRH. This then signals the pituitary gland to release a Follicle Stimulating Hormone, or FSH, and Luteinizing Hormone, or LH. FSH and LH act on the ovaries, which store the woman's eggs. FSH helps the eggs to mature while LH causes the woman to ovulate. Ovulation refers to the release of an egg from one of the ovaries. When the egg is released from the ovary, it is available to receive sperm and thus can be fertilized. If these hormones are not present in the correct amounts and at the correct times, the woman may not ovulate. Fertility medications can help to regulate the woman's natural hormones. Clomiphene citrate is a medication that stimulates the release of GnRH. This leads to the release of LH and FSH, allowing the woman to release an egg so that it can be fertilized. Many other medications that act on different parts of this system are available.
