Ovulation Induction Procedure
Ovulation induction might be the key you’ve been searching for. This medical treatment uses medications to help your ovaries produce mature follicles, the tiny sacs containing eggs needed for conception.
How does Ovulation induction work?
- Assessment: Your fertility specialist will first evaluate your situation through blood tests to measure hormone levels and an ultrasound to check follicle development and uterine lining thickness.
- Stimulation: Oral medications or hormone injections gently nudge your ovaries into producing one or more mature follicles. The specific medication and dosage will be tailored to your unique needs.
- Monitoring: This step is crucial. Your specialist will keep a close eye on your progress using ultrasounds and blood tests to ensure optimal follicle development and minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies.
- The Big Moment: As your follicles reach peak maturity, your specialist will advise the ideal day for timed intercourse or suggest intrauterine insemination (IUI), where sperm is placed directly into your uterus, maximizing the chances of fertilization.
How is Ovulation induction beneficial?
- Irregular menstrual cycles: Cycles longer than 35 days or shorter than 21 days indicate irregularity.
- Anovulation: The complete absence of ovulation.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal condition with irregular cycles and multiple small follicles.
