There can be various causes of infertility, and insufficient ovulation is one of them. The therapy known as ovulation induction is often used in such cases to stimulate the development and release of eggs. Fertility drugs are used to induce ovulation in women, particularly those who have irregular menstrual cycles. Ovulation induction is recommended for women who are not ovulating, particularly those with conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). BirthRight Fertility by Rainbow Hospitals, with its team of doctors, specialists, and fertility experts, offers personalized fertility treatments to stimulate ovulation and enhance the likelihood of pregnancy.
Around 30-40% of women with infertility issues also have ovulation problems. Women who don’t ovulate or infrequently ovulate are the most likely to benefit from undergoing ovulation induction therapy. Ovulation induction might also be used in women who ovulate regularly but have unexplained infertility to provide them with better chances of conceiving. The therapy is also used when you undergo an IVF cycle for maximizing the production of eggs.
The services provided for ovulation induction at BirthRight Fertility by Rainbow aim to not only prompt ovulation but also increase the number of mature eggs in each cycle, improving the chances of conception. This process, known as controlled ovarian hyperstimulation or superovulation, involves the administration of follicle-stimulating hormone through injections.
For individuals with irregular menstrual cycles, monitoring through ultrasound or hormone assessments helps identify the fertile window, thereby enhancing natural conception chances. Before initiating ovulation induction, a series of tests are conducted to determine the underlying cause, including ultrasounds of the womb and ovaries, as well as blood tests measuring hormones such as thyroid, LH, FSH, testosterone, prolactin, and other androgens. Additionally, assessments of ovarian response to drug treatment are performed.
In cases where ovulation doesn't occur naturally, medications are administered at the beginning of menstruation to stimulate egg production. If oral medications prove ineffective, fertility injections may be recommended to stimulate egg production in the ovaries. BirthRight Fertility by Rainbow's experienced doctors guide patients through each step of the process, ensuring comprehensive care and support throughout the ovulation induction treatment.

During that time, you may require 3-4 ultrasounds to monitor the development and pace of the follicle growth.
