What is Ovulation Induction (OI)?

Ovulation Induction (OI) is a medical approach designed to stimulate the development and release of mature eggs from the ovaries when natural ovulation is irregular or non-existent. This procedure is a key component of fertility treatment, and it is especially beneficial for individuals with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or unexplained infertility. OI typically involves the use of medications, such as oral tablets or injections, to regulate and enhance the ovulation process.

The Ovulation Induction (OI) Process:

• Comprehensive Evaluation

Your journey begins with a through evaluation by our fertility specialists. We will assess your medical history, conduct diagnostic tests, and understand your unique fertility challenges.

• Tailored Treatment Plan

Based on the evaluation results, we will create a personalized OI treatment plan. This plan will include the type and dosage of medications, the timing of treatment, and ongoing monitoring.

• Medication Administration

You will be prescribed medication, typically in the form of oral tablets or injections, to regulate your hormonal balance. These medications encourage the growth of one or more mature follicles (fluid-filled sacs containing eggs) in the ovaries.

• Ovulation Monitoring

Throughout the OI process, we closely monitor your progress through blood tests and ultrasounds. This ensures the precise timing of ovulation and allows us to make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

• Timing of Intercourse or Fertility Treatment

When the follicles have reached the desired size, ovulation is triggered using an injection. At this point, timed intercourse or other fertility treatments, such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), may be recommended, depending on your unique circumstances.

• Pregnancy Test

Approximately two weeks after the timed intercourse or fertility treatment, you will undergo a pregnancy test to determine the success of the OI cycle.
