Ovulation Induction

Who Needs Ovulation Induction?

Ovulation induction is designed for women experiencing challenges related to ovulation. Here are common situations where this treatment may be recommended:

1. Irregular or Absent Ovulation
   Some women may have irregular cycles (oligo-ovulation) or do not ovulate at all (anovulation) due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hormonal imbalances, or thyroid issues.

2. Unexplained Infertility
   For couples with no identifiable cause of infertility, stimulating ovulation can improve timing and increase the likelihood of conception.

3. Luteal Phase Defect
   Ovulation induction can be used to address insufficient hormone production after ovulation, which can impact the ability to sustain a pregnancy.

4. Timed Intercourse or ART Procedures
   Women undergoing treatments such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) may need ovulation induction to develop multiple eggs, optimizing their chances of success.

If you are struggling to conceive, our team at Mamata Fertility Hospital will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if ovulation induction is the right approach for you.

How Ovulation Induction Works?

Ovulation induction involves the use of medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce and release eggs. Doctors closely monitor the process to ensure the development of healthy eggs while minimizing side effects. Here’s a step-by-step look at the procedure:

1. Initial Consultation and Testing
   Your fertility specialist will begin with an evaluation of your medical history, blood tests to assess hormone levels, and an ultrasound to check ovarian health.

2. Customized Treatment Plan
   Based on your test results and ovulation patterns, your doctor will create a tailored plan using specific medications and dosages.

3. Ovarian Stimulation
   Medications are administered to stimulate the ovaries to develop mature follicles. Your doctor will monitor follicle growth with ultrasounds and bloodwork during this phase.

4. Trigger Shot
   Once the follicles are mature, you will receive an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to trigger ovulation. This ensures that the egg is released at the ideal time for fertilization.

5. Timed Intercourse or Fertility Treatment
   Couples are advised on the best timing for intercourse or ART procedures like IUI, ensuring the best chance of conception.

This carefully managed process makes ovulation induction a highly effective tool in fertility care

Medications Used in Ovulation Induction

Several medications may be used to induce ovulation. The choice depends on your specific diagnosis, fertility goals, and how your body responds to treatment.

1. Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid)
   This oral medication is often the first-line treatment. It works by stimulating the release of hormones that trigger ovulation, aiding women with irregular cycles.

2. Gonadotropins
   These injectable hormones (FSH and LH) stimulate the ovaries directly to produce multiple eggs. They are prescribed for women who do not respond to oral medications or are preparing for assisted reproductive treatments.

3. Aromatase Inhibitors (e.g., Letrozole)
   Originally used for breast cancer treatment, this medication has shown effectiveness in stimulating ovulation in women with PCOS or unexplained infertility.

4. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)
   Administered as a trigger shot, hCG mimics the body’s natural luteinizing hormone (LH) surge, prompting the release of eggs.

At Mamata Fertility Hospital, our fertility specialists use evidence-based protocols to personalize medication regimens, ensuring maximum effectiveness with minimal risks.

Success Rates

The success of ovulation induction depends on several factors, including age, underlying fertility issues, and timing of intercourse or ART procedures. Here are the general success rates:

• Women Under 35: Success rates with ovulation induction and timed intercourse can be as high as 20–25% per cycle.
• Coupled with IUI: The success rate increases to 15–20% per cycle.
• PCOS Patients: For women with PCOS, up to 80% will ovulate after treatment, with 40–50% achieving pregnancy within six cycles.

Risks and Side Effects

Ovulation induction is generally a safe procedure, but as with any treatment, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of:

1. Multiple Pregnancy
   Medications may stimulate the release of multiple eggs, increasing the chances of twins or higher-order multiples.

2. Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)
   Rarely, overstimulation of the ovaries can cause pain, bloating, or fluid retention. This condition is closely monitored to prevent complications.

3. Side Effects from Medications
   Temporary side effects like mood swings, headaches, or mild abdominal discomfort may occur during treatment.

4. Unsuccessful Attempts
   Not every cycle results in pregnancy, which can be emotionally challenging. Our compassionate team is here to support you through every step of your fertility journey.
   

1. Preparing for Ovulation Induction

   Being well-prepared for treatment increases its effectiveness. Here’s how you can get ready for ovulation induction:

   • Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a balanced diet, engage in regular exercise, and avoid smoking and alcohol.
   • Track Ovulation: Familiarize yourself with ovulation tracking tools like basal body temperature and ovulation predictor kits.
   • Reduce Stress: Consider stress-reduction activities like yoga or meditation, as stress can impact fertility.
