Ovulation induction (OI) is a fertility treatment aimed at stimulating the ovaries to produce and release one or more eggs during a woman’s menstrual cycle, increasing the chances of conception. This method is particularly beneficial for women who experience irregular or absent ovulation, often due to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Process of Ovulation Induction:
Medications:
- Clomiphene Citrate: Commonly used to stimulate the release of hormones necessary for ovulation.
- Letrozole: An alternative that can be effective for those who do not respond to Clomiphene.
- Gonadotropins: Injectable hormones that directly stimulate the ovaries.
