Ovulation Induction (OI)

Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment used to help women who experience difficulty ovulating regularly especially patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

This process often involves oral medications, such as clomiphene citrate or injections such as gonadotropins, to encourage egg development and release.

Throughout the treatment, close monitoring is essential. Regular ultrasounds track the growth and development of follicles, while sometimes blood tests monitor hormone levels to ensure appropriate stimulation without overstimulation, which can lead to complications like Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).

It’s often combined with timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination to improve the likelihood of pregnancy.
