Ovulation Induction

Ovulation induction is the stimulation of ovulation by medication. 30 to 40% of infertile women have problems with ovulation. An egg has to be released from the ovary each month in the middle of the cycle to have the opportunity to be fertilized in the tube and subsequently implant in the uterus to develop into a pregnancy.

Women who benefit from ovulation induction:
-Women who ovulate infrequently eg. PCOS
-Women with unexplained infertility who ovulate regularly can also be treated with ovulation induction to
increase the number of ovulations per cycle to give them better odds in achieving a conception
