Ovulation Inducer is a fertility treatment that uses medication to stimulate the ovaries and encourage the development and release of eggs (ovulation). It is typically used when a woman experiences irregular or absent ovulation, a common cause of infertility.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
-
What it is:Ovulation induction aims to help women who don’t ovulate regularly or at all to ovulate, thus increasing the chances of pregnancy.
-
How it works:It involves taking oral or injectable medications, often starting at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, to stimulate the ovaries to produce and release eggs.
-
Monitoring:The patient’s response to the medication is closely monitored through blood tests and ultrasounds to track follicle growth and determine the optimal time for intercourse or insemination.
-
Medications:Common medications include clomiphene citrate (an oral medication) and injectable gonadotropins like follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
-
Goal:The goal is to induce ovulation, potentially leading to natural conception through timed intercourse or through intrauterine insemination (IUI).
-
Effectiveness:Ovulation induction can be a cost-effective and less invasive way to address ovulation-related infertility.
-
When it’s used:It’s often a first-line treatment for women with irregular or absent ovulation, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and unexplained infertility.
-
Risks:There’s a slightly increased chance of multiple births (twins) with ovulation induction, which can be minimized with monitoring.
