Nabothian follicles
Small cysts present within the wall of cervix. These cysts are just blocked
glands considered to be normal and have no pathological significance
Naferelin
It is a brand name for LH RH agonist which is used as a nasal spray. It is
prescribed in the treatment of endometriosis or for downregulation in IVF
cycles
Natural Cycle IVF
IVF without the use of drugs. In stimulated IVF/ICSI cycles, the patient takes
drugs to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple eggs. With natural cycle
IVF, the treatment cycle relies on the spontaneous development of one follicle
only and therefore the retrieval of, usually, only one egg. There is nothing
new about natural cycle IVF, in fact, Louise Brown, the world’s first ‘test-tube’ baby, was conceived using this method 25 years ago.
NSAIDs
Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs. They are used as pain killers and have an
action similar to aspirin. Examples include Ponstan, Nurofen, ibuprofen etc.
These drugs should be avoided during ovulation as they delay release of the
egg. They are less likely to cause bleeding from the stomach than aspirin.
