Ovulation induction (OI) with controlled Ovarian Stimulation

This is a recommended treatment for women with normal tubes and partners with normal semen analysis but infrequent or absent ovulation.

In cases of regular ovulation, ovarian stimulation can enhance pregnancy chances by increasing the number of fully developed follicles and, consequently, the number of eggs ovulated during a cycle.

Medications like letrozole (Femara) or clomiphene citrate (Clomid or Serophene) tablets and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) injections (Gonal-F or Puregon) are commonly used to stimulate ovulation.

Fertility Drugs

Fertility drugs are often advised for women facing ovulation issues, with a thorough discussion of benefits and side-effects. It’s important to note that multiple births occur in 10-20% of cases when fertility drugs are used.

Surgery

If medications prove ineffective, surgery may be considered. However, surgical interventions to repair damage to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus are recommended only if there’s a substantial chance of restoring fertility.
