Ovulation Induction

Ovulation induction is a medical treatment that can help improve ovulation patterns, or increase the number of eggs released each month. Treatments may include either oral medications, such as clomiphene citrate, or injectable medications. Ovulation induction may be performed for a variety of reasons, but it is especially helpful in patients who do not ovulate regularly on their own, such as women with polycystic ovarian syndrome or other women with irregular menstrual cycles. Ovulation induction can also be used in women who ovulate regularly, to either improve the quality of their ovulation or to increase the number of eggs released each month, which increases the chances for pregnancy.
