Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment that uses medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce and release eggs. It is often the first step in fertility care, especially for women who do not ovulate regularly, and can be used alone with timed intercourse, combined with intrauterine insemination (IUI), or as part of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. This approach is particularly helpful for women with irregular or absent periods, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), mild hormonal imbalances, or ovulatory issues related to stress or weight. Before starting, a comprehensive evaluation, including hormone testing and ultrasound scans, ensures the treatment plan is tailored to individual needs.
Common medications for ovulation induction include Letrozole, Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid), and Gonadotropins, each working in different ways and chosen based on medical history, hormone levels, and response to stimulation. Success rates depend on factors such as age, underlying fertility conditions, and body mass index (BMI). Women under 35 generally have higher success rates, and certain conditions like PCOS may respond particularly well to specific medications. While ovulation induction is generally safe, it can carry risks such as multiple pregnancies (about 2% with oral medications and up to 15–20% with gonadotropins) and, rarely, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Side effects may include bloating, mood swings, headaches, hot flashes, and abdominal discomfort.
At Almond Blossoms, ovulation induction is managed with close monitoring to ensure the best results and patient safety. This includes detailed pre-treatment assessments, lifestyle guidance on diet, exercise, and weight management, and regular ultrasounds and blood tests during treatment to adjust medication if needed. If several cycles of ovulation induction are not successful, alternative fertility treatments such as IUI or IVF may be considered. Our goal is to maximise your chances of a healthy pregnancy while minimising risks, ensuring that each step is adapted to your unique circumstances and fertility journey.
