Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment used to stimulate the ovaries to release eggs in women who do not ovulate regularly or predictably. It is commonly recommended for women with hormonal imbalances, irregular menstrual cycles, or ovulatory disorders such as PCOS. As one of the most frequently used fertility treatments, ovulation induction may be used on its own or combined with assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI or IVF, depending on individual fertility factors.

Ovulation induction is an effective fertility treatment for women with ovulatory disorders and certain fertility conditions. When guided by accurate diagnosis and careful monitoring, it can significantly improve the chances of conception and serve as a foundation for further fertility treatment if needed. A fertility specialist can determine whether ovulation induction is the most appropriate treatment based on individual fertility evaluation and goals.
Common medicines used are:
In some cases and especially with the use of injections, we may form 2-3 follicles rather than one. This in turn may increase the possibility of multiple pregnancies.
The response to stimulation is monitored by a transvaginal scan called a follicular study started on day 10 or 11 of periods and repeated once in a few days to track the growth of the follicle, ending the study with the release of the egg from the follicle.
Once the follicle reaches a certain size of a minimum of 18-20 mm, in case the egg is not released. Spontaneously, we may give an injection of hCG to allow the egg to get released.
The couple can continue with their regular sex life if they have frequent sex. In case they have sex infrequently, we advise them to have more sex around the time of follicular growth or ovulation in order to increase the chance of getting pregnant.
