Quick Read- Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment designed to stimulate the ovaries and promote ovulation in individuals who do not ovulate naturally.
- It is commonly recommended for patients with irregular or absent ovulation, including those with conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome.
- Treatment involves the use of fertility medications to support follicular development, with careful monitoring through ultrasound scans and hormone testing.
- Once ovulation is achieved, patients can attempt conception through natural intercourse or assisted treatments such as intrauterine insemination.
- As ovarian stimulation is involved, there is a monitored risk of multiple pregnancy or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

What is Ovulation Induction?
If a woman is not ovulating by herself, ovulation induction may be required. Ovulation Induction uses hormonal medications to stimulate egg development and release. We offer Induction of Ovulation as a single treatment or packaged with IUI, using either donor sperm or partner sperm.
Women who suffer from PCOS, weight-related illnesses or severe stress might struggle with irregular ovulation, making it more difficult to conceive naturally. If your doctor believes unassisted natural conception is unlikely, they may recommend induction of ovulation as a solution.

What is The Process?
1
Initial Screening & Consultation
After you have scheduled an appointment at our state-of-the-art clinic, you will meet with one of our expert fertility doctors. They will discuss the details of your fertility and overall health with you. Based on an analysis of your hormone levels, your ovarian reserve, the condition of your fallopian tubes and how regularly you ovulate, your doctor will explain if an Ovulation Induction is the correct treatment for your needs.
2
Stimulating the eggs
You will be prescribed a course of hormonal medications to trigger the development of your eggs. Most women will have oral medication for this part of the treatment. However, in some cases, you may need fertility injections to stimulate egg production. Throughout this stage of the treatment, you will be closely monitored with ultrasound scans and blood tests, so we can check you are responding safely.
3
Attempting to conceive
We monitor you closely to give the best indication of when your hormone levels are optimal for conception. If these levels indicate that ovulation is about to occur, we will proceed with your IUI treatment or suggest that you and your partner attempt to conceive naturally.
What are the advantages of Ovulation Induction?
Ovulation Induction is an accessible and affordable treatment for many women struggling with fertility. As it is a non-invasive procedure, it is considered relatively low risk. Furthermore, Ovulation Induction is effective when used in conjunction with IUI. This means it is a viable option for many women, even women who do not have a partner, are in a same-sex relationship, or have a medical condition that affects their ovulation.
Does Ovulation Induction have any risks?
One of the most commonly reported risks of Ovulation Induction is the chance of multiple pregnancies. If your doctor believes it's likely you may release multiple eggs, we would advise trying to conceive on a followng cycle. Another concern is the risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome, or OHSS. Although uncommon OHSS can cause discomfort and swelling in the abdominal area.
Your doctor would always discuss any concerns you had about possible risks of treatment before you consent to ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
