Ovulation induction
Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment designed to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs, especially in women who have irregular ovulation or are anovulatory (do not ovulate). Dr. K. Monika Reddy, an experienced Obstetrician, Gynecologist, and Fertility Specialist, offers tailored ovulation induction treatments to help women achieve pregnancy.
When is Ovulation Induction Needed?
Ovulation induction is typically recommended for women who have difficulty ovulating naturally due to conditions such as:
🔹 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
🔹 Hypothalamic or Pituitary Dysfunction
🔹 Low Ovarian Reserve
🔹 Age-related Fertility Decline
Treatment Options for Ovulation Induction
Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid)
🔹 A commonly used oral medication that encourages the pituitary gland to release hormones necessary for ovulation.
🔹 Typically prescribed for women with PCOS or irregular cycles.Gonadotropins (Injectable Hormones)
🔹 These hormone injections stimulate the ovaries directly, encouraging the development of multiple follicles and eggs.
🔹 Used in cases where Clomid has not been effective or in women with poor ovarian response.Letrozole (Femara)
🔹 An alternative to Clomid, often used for women with PCOS or those who have had unsuccessful Clomid cycles.
🔹 It works by reducing estrogen levels, stimulating the ovaries to produce eggs.Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Trigger Shot
🔹 Administered to trigger ovulation once the eggs are mature, ensuring the release of the egg for potential fertilization.
Monitoring During Ovulation Induction
During the treatment cycle, Dr. Reddy provides close monitoring through:
🔹 Ultrasound – To track follicle development and ensure the ovaries are responding to treatment.
🔹 Blood Tests – To measure hormone levels (like estrogen and progesterone) to assess ovarian response.
🔹 Timing of Intercourse or IUI – To optimize the chances of conception by timing intercourse or Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) around ovulation.
