How do fertility drugs work,
and why do they cause multiple
births?
Fertility drugs are basically
ovulation-inducing drugs. They
cause a woman’s ovaries to
ripen and release an egg when
her body is not ovulating on its
own. Although there are a
number of other causes of in
fertility, about 15 percent of the
couples who seek help find they
are unable to have a baby
because the woman is not
ovulating.
One type of fertility drug,
chlomid, acts on the pituitary
gland to stimulate the produc
tion of two hormones necessary
for ovulation. Pergonal, another
drug used, acts directly on the
ovaries to ripen and release the
egg Pergonal is not usually
prescribed unless chlomid has
been tried first.
Both drugs may “over-cor
rect" and cause the ovaries to
release two or more eggs at the
same time. When these eggs are
fertilized, this can result in mul
tiple births. Studies show there
is about a 20 percent increase
of twinning and tripleting in
women who have used chlomid.

The occurrence of multiple

associated with pergonal.
If a woman has an abortion,
will it increase the risk of prob
lems with future pregnancies?
Since 1975 several studies
have been conducted to deter
mine the possible effects of
legal abortion on subsequent
pregnancies. Some studies in
dicate no problem with future
pregnancies and some show an
increase in miscarriage and
premature delivery.
Two factors — the type of
abortion performed and
whether or not the woman has
had prior abortions — seem to
explain much of the dis
crepancy in findings. The risk of
miscarriage or prematurity is
directly related to the frequency
and degree to which the canal
to the uterus (cervix) is dilated.
Pregnancy itself is a state in
which the cervix becomes dilat
ed. It is important to realize that
even after a full-term preg
nancy, the chance of miscar
riage increases slightly. Cer
vical dilation is induced in abor
tion procedures, but the degree
of dilation varies with the
procedure.
There are various legal meth
ods used to terminate preg
nancy. In this community the
primary method used for a first
trimester abortion is vacuum
suction. This procedure in
volves only slight dilation of the
cervix, and studies indicate no
detrimental effects on future
pregnancies if a woman only
has one abortion.
In some instances, a dilation
and curettage is performed. The
degree of cervical dilation may
be greater with this method, and
studies have implicated the
technique in reduced birth rate,
prematurity and miscarriage in
subsequent pregnancies.
The picture may change with
repeat abortions. A recent study
in Boston supported findings
indicating that the risk of first
trimester miscarriage increases
two to three times in women
who have had two or more prior
induced abortions.
In summary, studies regard
ing the safety of legal abortion
seem to suggest that a single
vacuum suction abortion is a
safe medical procedure, and it
has no detrimental effects on
future pregnancies or deliver
ies. But repeat abortions or
other abortion procedures may
involve some future risk.
