It turned out that my body does not produce the hormone needed for egg ripening and ovulation. First we tried with pills, but that didn't help and after a few months I got the option for a pump. That way I got pregnant twice, the first time after 7 months and the second time after 2 months. The first time I had to work with a fairly large device with a hose attached, but the equipment has now become more user-friendly. You now have a very small device in the shape of a 'mouse' on your stomach that secretly releases liquid into your blood. All I had to do was apply a new mouse to the skin once every 3 days. The rest went without saying. I thought it was a very pleasant and easy way to conceive. You have to learn how to handle the things, but that was also well arranged. A Ferring employee gave a very clear explanation of the technical side of the system the first time in the hospital, and I was given a telephone number that I could call 24 hours a day with technical questions. As a pharmacy assistant I am used to dealing with syringes and medicines, but even if you do not have that background, it is fine to do. This pump system has been very important to me. It was the only way to get pregnant, so for me it was the ideal solution. ' Explanation Lutrepulse Women whose menstrual cycle is seriously disrupted or even absent due to, for example, being underweight, cannot get pregnant naturally. The best way to treat this form of infertility is pulse-wise administration of the body's own hormone GnRH. Despite the fact that it concerns only a relatively small group of women, Ferring has further developed the pulse system in collaboration with gynecologists. This system does not take over the hormonal balance of the body, but supplements it. At the beginning of 2011, the Lutrepulse system was brought onto the market in an improved form with the accompanying 24-hour accessibility service for technical questions. Ferring thinks it is important that this group of women in the Netherlands also gets the chance to get pregnant. These women have about the same chance of becoming pregnant as women with a natural cycle. That is reason enough for Ferring to supply this high-tech pump system including 24-hour accessibility service to the patient.
