Taking ovulation pills is risky, and going off the peak for twins

Now that the country has allowed couples to have a second child, many mothers are planning to have another child, but most also want twins for convenience. Many mothers are prepared to take a radical approach, hearing that taking ovulation pills can increase the chances of having twins. But all medicines have certain harmful effects. All medicines are poisonous! Let's take a look at how risky it is to take ovulation pills.

1. Drug abuse is worrying: What exactly are ovulation-stimulating drugs?

What exactly is ovulation-inducing drug? It is mainly used to treat infertility. It can promote the chance of conception through ovulation and does increase the chance of multiple pregnancies. However, ovulation-inducing drugs are usually only suitable for patients with irregular menstruation or anovulatory menstruation, and must be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor and followed up.

However, although ovulation-stimulating drugs are prescription drugs, they can be easily purchased on shopping websites, and their abuse is now a concern. Doctors say that taking ovulation-stimulating drugs improperly is quite unsafe. Taking too large a dose or taking them for too long may cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which can significantly increase estrogen levels, leading to menstrual and ovulation disorders, and even pleural effusion, ascites, liver and kidney damage, etc. In addition, multiple pregnancies may also cause the pregnant mother to have polyhydramnios, high blood pressure, early miscarriage, fetal growth retardation, low weight, intellectual development lag, and even give birth to children with cerebral palsy.

2. Multiple pregnancies are risky: pregnant mothers should think twice before taking action

Although multiple pregnancies are worth celebrating, they also carry greater risks. It is better for a woman to have one baby. Having two babies is considered a stretch. The more babies a woman has, the greater the risk. If the mother's womb is compared to a small room, then the environment for a fetus is very spacious. If two or three fetuses are brought in at once, the environment inside the uterus will become crowded, and the distribution of amniotic fluid and blood supply will become inadequate. The more fetuses there are in the uterus, the more crowded the space is and the more intense the competition in the uterus is. If some fetuses are not guaranteed nutrition and space, the incidence of cerebral palsy, retinopathy, hearing impairment, epilepsy and pulmonary dysplasia after birth is significantly higher than that of normal babies.

So, after so many experts' confirmation, it is obvious that taking ovulation pills actually has great risks. Therefore, mothers must think twice before acting. Even if they don’t consider their own health and family, they must consider the unborn babies. In order to ensure that there are no risks, it is better to give up this plan.
