Embryo Protection Act
This law has been in force since 1 January 1991 and should be known in some aspects in order not to exceed the available possibilities illegally. Any hormonal stimulation of the ovaries, such as that undertaken in the case of ovarian-associated infertility and in the case of pre-treatment in the context of in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection, is likely to result in ovarian hyperstimulation. The risk is particularly high when treating with ovulation triggers (antiestrogens such as tamoxifen, clomifen) as well as gonadotropins (HMG, FSH) and HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin).
The syndrome implies that instead of one dominant follicle (egg cell + envelope), several mature in the ovary. This in turn leads to multiple pregnancies, enlargement of the ovaries and abdominal pain. In severe cases, large ovarian cysts, abdominal dropsy and coagulation disorders may occur, making hospitalization necessary. There is a very low risk with therapy using gonadotropin-releasing hormones.
Adoption
If all attempts to achieve a pregnancy by artificial insemination have failed, there is still the possibility of adoption. However, very few children are given up for adoption and the legal conditions are strictly regulated. The couple gets the child for one year on trial.
