Inducing Ovulation

You may not ovulate regularly for a number of reasons, including:

• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
• Ovarian failure (premature menopause, etc.). 
• Severe stress
• Weight issues (too much or too less)
• Hormonal imbalances
• Certain medications

Ovulation induction involves closely monitoring your ovaries using ultrasound (USG) throughout your cycle. Follicles in the ovary are stimulated to grow (using medicines from the 3rd till 8th day of your period) and release eggs (using a “trigger” injection). Oral tablets like Clomiphene or Letrozole, Metformin, and/or injections of follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) are used to stimulate the ovary to produce egg-containing follicles. The ovulation trigger injection is called Ovitrelle or Zivofert, which mimic the action of the natural hormone, LH.

The treatment method will vary based on your specific ovulation issue, but the goal is the same – to ensure the predictable release of an egg for fertilization, either naturally through intercourse or via intra-uterine insemination (IUI).

A potential risk of induced ovulation is the release of multiple eggs, increasing the likelihood of multiple births, particularly twins. We carefully monitor ovarian responses to minimize this risk and may recommend cancellation of the cycle if the chance of multiple births is too high. A cancelled cycle does not count against your multi-cycle package, ensuring no financial loss to you. We are committed to ensuring that you get the safest of treatment without any commercial considerations.
