An LH injection, specifically Lutropin alfa, is a medication used to help women with fertility problems become pregnant. It provides luteinizing hormone (LH) to the body.
How LH Injection Works
LH injection works in conjunction with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to prepare an egg for ovulation, increasing the chances of pregnancy. It is generally used in combination with FSH and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
Key Uses of LH Injection
- Fertility Treatment: Primarily used as part of assisted reproductive technology (ART) to stimulate ovulation.
- Ovulation Induction: Helps induce ovulation in women who don't ovulate regularly.
- Hormone Support: Provides necessary LH supplementation to support follicle development.
