Ovulation Induction

What is Ovulation Induction?

Ovulation Induction is a fertility treatment designed to stimulate the ovaries to produce and release one or more mature eggs, increasing the chances of natural conception or pregnancy through assisted reproductive treatments such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

The treatment is commonly recommended for women who do not ovulate regularly, have irregular menstrual cycles, or experience ovulation disorders such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). In some cases, ovulation induction may also be advised for women who ovulate normally but require controlled follicle development to improve the chances of conception.

Throughout the treatment cycle, follicular growth is carefully monitored using ultrasound scans and, when required, hormone tests. Once the leading follicle reaches the appropriate size, a trigger injection is administered to induce ovulation at the optimal time for natural intercourse, IUI, or egg retrieval during IVF treatment.

Who Can Benefit from Ovulation Induction?

Ovulation induction may be recommended for women with:

  • Irregular or absent ovulation
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Unexplained infertility
  • Women preparing for IUI treatment
  • Women undergoing IVF treatment
  • Mild ovulatory disorders

How Does Ovulation Induction Work?

The treatment usually involves the following steps:

  1. Fertility Assessment – Your fertility specialist evaluates your medical history, hormone levels, and ovarian reserve.
  2. Ovulation Medication – Oral tablets or injectable medications are prescribed to stimulate follicle development.
  3. Follicular Monitoring – Ultrasound scans monitor the growth and number of developing follicles.
  4. Ovulation Trigger – When the follicles reach the appropriate size, a trigger injection is given to induce ovulation.
  5. Timed Conception – Natural intercourse, IUI, or IVF treatment is scheduled based on the timing of ovulation.
