Ovulation induction is a simple fertility treatment designed to help your body release an egg. It can be a helpful option if you’re not ovulating regularly or need a little support to improve your chances of conception. For many people, this is often one of the first steps in fertility treatment and can be used on its own or alongside treatments like IUI.
Ovulation induction uses medications to gently stimulate your ovaries to develop and release an egg.
Common medications include:
• Letrozole or clomiphene - tablets taken early in your cycle
• Gonadotropins - hormone injections used in some cases
Throughout your cycle, we monitor your response with ultrasound scans and sometimes blood tests. This helps us identify the best timing for intercourse or insemination, giving you the highest chance of success.
Ovulation induction may be recommended if:
• You are not ovulating regularly
• You have conditions such as PCOS
• You need support to improve timing and predictability of ovulation
Your specialist will guide you on whether this is the right approach for your individual situation.
Ovulation induction is generally safe and well-tolerated, especially when carefully monitored. The main considerations include:
• Multiple pregnancy - There is a higher chance of twins when more than one egg is released
• Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) - A rare side effect where the ovaries become swollen and uncomfortable
At Oasis, we closely monitor your treatment to keep risks low and ensure your safety at every step.
We understand that starting fertility treatment can feel like a big step. Our team is here to guide you with clear information, personalised care, and ongoing support so you feel confident and informed throughout your journey.
