Ovulation Induction
Medication-supported treatment to encourage regular ovulation, with careful monitoring.
What is Ovulation Induction?
Ovulation induction uses medication to encourage the ovaries to release an egg in people who do not ovulate regularly. It is a common first step for certain ovulation difficulties, including some cases related to PCOS.
The treatment is carried out with monitoring so that the response can be followed and timing optimised.
How Ovulation Induction works
After a baseline assessment, medication — taken by mouth or given by injection — is used to stimulate the development of a follicle.
Follicular monitoring with ultrasound helps track the response and identify the best timing, guiding the next step in your plan.
