When is the ovulation induction used?

The goal of ovulation induction in patients is to achieve the proper development of an ovarian follicle containing a healthy ovum which can be fertilized. Occasionally, ovulation induction can lead to the growth of two or three follicles, which may increase the chances of pregnancy.

The most common indications for ovulation induction include disturbances in the development of Graafian follicles, irregular ovulation, or a complete lack of ovulation.

What factors can affect the efficacy of ovulation induction?

The full success of ovulation induction can be declared when, following the treatment, a woman conceives and subsequently gives birth to a healthy child. The conditions that need to be met for the successful ovulation stimulation outcome are the same as when you try to conceive naturally. Thus, a woman must primarily focus on her lifestyle. She should maintain a balanced and diverse diet, avoid harmful substances, lead an active lifestyle, regulate her body weight, and minimize stressful situations.

Description of the ovulation induction process

The root cause of ovulation issues is always an abnormal hormone balance. Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment that involves taking prescribed hormonal medication. Throughout the entire process, it is also essential to monitor the ovulation cycle by performing several gynaecological ultrasound scans. When the outcome of ovulation induction is positive, we advise our patients on the optimal period in the cycle when trying to conceive will be most effective and which additional post-ovulation medications should be taken.
