Ovulation Induction in Indore with Follicle Monitoring
Not ovulating regularly? Ovulation induction uses tablets or low-dose injections with follicle scans to help release an egg. Learn who it suits and the risks.
Ovulation induction is a simple fertility treatment that uses medicines to help the ovaries release an egg. It is often the first treatment for women who ovulate irregularly or not at all, most commonly because of PCOS. At Asian Navkar Hospital, Indore, ovulation induction is always combined with ultrasound follicle monitoring, so the dose can be adjusted and the risk of twins or triplets kept low.
Who Is Ovulation Induction For?
- Women with irregular or absent periods due to PCOS
- Hypothalamic causes of absent ovulation (after correcting weight or stress factors where possible)
- Unexplained infertility, combined with IUI
It works only when at least one fallopian tube is open and the partner's semen report is acceptable.
Medicines Used
- Letrozole – now often the first-line tablet for women with PCOS, as recommended in international PCOS guidelines
- Clomiphene citrate – a long-established alternative tablet
- Gonadotropin injections – low-dose FSH for women who do not respond to tablets
- Metformin – sometimes added for women with PCOS and insulin resistance
Other problems such as thyroid disease or high prolactin are corrected first.
Follicle Monitoring and Timing
Transvaginal scans from around day 9–10 of the cycle track the growing follicle and the uterine lining. When the follicle is mature, you are advised the best days for intercourse or IUI, sometimes after a trigger injection. If too many follicles grow, the cycle may be cancelled to avoid a multiple pregnancy. Most women are advised up to about six ovulatory cycles before reviewing the plan.
