Ovulation Induction
Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment that uses medication to stimulate the ovaries to produce and release an egg, helping to improve the chances of natural conception.
What is ovulation induction?
Ovulation induction involves the use of medication to encourage regular ovulation in women who do not ovulate consistently or at all.
It is often one of the first-line fertility treatments and may be used on its own or alongside other treatments.
The aim is to support the development and release of a healthy egg during the menstrual cycle.
Who may benefit from ovulation induction?
This treatment may be suitable for:
Irregular or absent ovulation
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Hormonal imbalance affecting ovulation
Unexplained infertility
What does the process involve?
Ovulation induction typically involves:
1. Medication
Tablets or injections are used to stimulate the ovaries.
2. Monitoring
Ultrasound scans may be used to track follicle development and timing of ovulation.
3. Timed intercourse
Guidance is given on the optimal timing for conception.
Success rates and expectations
Success depends on the underlying cause of fertility issues and individual response to medication.
A personalised consultation will help determine the most appropriate treatment approach and expected outcomes.
