How Do You Get FLPB?

Introduction

FLPB (follicle-stimulating hormone luteinizing hormone pulsatile bolus) is a type of fertility treatment that uses injections of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) to stimulate ovulation. It is commonly used in women who are not ovulating on their own.

How Does FLPB Work?

FLPB works by imitating the natural surge of FSH and LH that occurs during a woman’s menstrual cycle. FSH stimulates the growth of follicles (eggs) in the ovaries, while LH triggers ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). By injecting FSH and LH, FLPB can stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs and increase the chances of conception.

Who is a Candidate for FLPB?

FLPB may be an option for women who are:

• Not ovulating on their own
• Have irregular menstrual cycles
• Have been unsuccessful with other fertility treatments

How is FLPB Administered?

FLPB is typically administered using a series of injections. The injections are given daily, starting on day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle.

The dosage and duration of treatment will vary depending on the individual patient. Generally, treatment lasts for 10-12 days.

What are the Side Effects of FLPB?

The most common side effects of FLPB include:

• Hot flashes
• Mood swings
• Headaches
• Nausea
• Abdominal pain

Rare but serious side effects can include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and blood clots.

What are the Success Rates of FLPB?

The success rates of FLPB vary depending on the individual patient’s age, infertility diagnosis, and other factors. Overall, the chance of conceiving with FLPB is around 15-25% per treatment cycle.

Conclusion

FLPB is a fertility treatment that can be effective for women who are not ovulating on their own. It involves injections of FSH and LH to stimulate ovulation. The success rates of FLPB vary, but the chances of conceiving with treatment are around 15-25% per cycle.
