OVULATION INDUCTION

Ovulation induction is a form of treatment which involves

stimulation of the ovaries to bring about development of a

ripened egg which can then be fertilized by a normal act of

intercourse. Ovulation induction is used to treat women who

do not ovulate or who ovulate irregularly. Ovulation

induction can be used for women who have been diagnosed

with Hypothetic Pituitary failure or women with Polycystic

Ovarian Syndrome and consequently may not be ovulating.

The second use of ovulation induction was

to increase the number of eggs reaching

maturity in a single cycle to increase chances for

conception. The initial agents for this treatment

(used first for IVF and only later for simpler

treatments) were injectable medications.

About 12 immature follicles (black circles) are seen here. Ovulation induction, in ovulatory women, is always combined with intrauterine insemination. Ovulation induction should only progress after a complete and thorough evaluation.

A careful selection of treatment

regimens combined with diligent monitoring

can bring excellent results. For women with

ovarian failure or extremely very poor quality

eggs there are not currently any drug

available to allow a reasonable chance of

conception with any type of ovarian

stimulation.
