If you are experiencing female infertility and want to reach your pregnancy goals, ovulation induction is an option we provide at PFCLA. Contact us to find out if this is the right treatment for you.
Ovulation induction is a process where you take fertility medications to stimulate the release of one or more eggs from your ovary. Medicine provided with this treatment can help you or your partner develop a mature egg if you can’t ovulate or ovulate irregularly. During the initial consultation your doctor will address any concerns you may have of this treatment and provide you with a solution that works best for you.
Depending on your needs, your doctor may recommend one of several treatments:
There are two types of ovulation induction medications: oral and injectables. Your doctor will usually provide you with either clomopheneoral or letrozole tablets as a first-line treatment if you are unable to ovulate or ovulate infrequently. These tablets are easily administrable, have minimal side effects, offer a lower cost, decrease your risk of multiple pregnancies, and involve less monitoring.
However, if you've tried oral medication without successful ovulation, your doctor will ask you to consider injectables such gonadotropins as another form of infertility medication.
Your doctor will also use clomiphene or gonadotropins for intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. |

Here’s what you can expect during an ovulation induction treatment:
Note: Your doctor may request you to repeat blood testing and pelvic ultrasound during a cycle.
The goal of this treatment is to have one follicle grow around your viable egg. Your doctor can cancel the cycle if you develop too many eggs, which increases the risk of multiple pregnancies.
In some situations, the cycle may be converted to an IVF treatment, allowing your doctor control over the number of embryos placed in your uterus.
The side effects of these medications are usually minimal. These include but are not limited to:
In rare cases, Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) can occur.
If you are already ovulating but experience infertility, your doctor can provide the same procedures outlined above to increase the number of ovulated eggs per cycle. This process is called Superovulation or Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation (COH).
