Ovulation Induction

• Ovulation induction is a form of
  treatment which involves stimulation of the
  ovaries to bring about development of a ripened
  egg which can then be fertilized by a normal act
  of intercourse. Ovulation induction is used to
  treat women who do not ovulate or who ovulate
  irregularly. Ovulation induction can be used for
  women who have been diagnosed with Hypothetic
  Pituitary failure or women with Polycystic
  Ovarian Syndrome and consequently may not be
  ovulating.

• The second use of ovulation induction was to
  increase the number of eggs reaching maturity in
  a single cycle to increase chances for
  conception. The initial agents for this treatment
  (used first for IVF and only later for simpler
  treatments) were injectable medications.

  woman with PCOS polycystic ovarian disease.
  These women do not develop mature follicles or
  ovulate without medication treatment. About 12
  immature follicles (black circles) are seen here.
  Ovulation induction, in ovulatory women, is
  always combined with intrauterine insemination.
  Ovulation induction should only progress after a
  complete and thorough evaluation.

• A careful selection of treatment regimens
  combined with diligent monitoring can bring
  excellent results. For women with ovarian failure
  or extremely very poor quality eggs there are not
  currently any drug available to allow a
  reasonable chance of conception with any type of
  ovarian stimulation.
