Ovulation Induction at OC Fertility® + OC Biogenix®

What Is Ovulation Induction?

Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment that uses medication to stimulate the ovaries to release one or more mature eggs. It’s commonly recommended for women who:

• Don’t ovulate regularly or at all (e.g., women with PCOS)
• Have unexplained infertility
• Are pursuing timed intercourse, IUI, or IVF
• Need to increase egg production for better pregnancy outcomes

This treatment is often the first step before more advanced procedures like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Who Can Benefit from Ovulation Induction?

Ovulation induction is suitable for a variety of fertility challenges, including:

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
• Male factor infertility (when combined with IUI)
• Cervical mucus problems
• Sexual dysfunction
• Unexplained infertility

Even women who ovulate normally may benefit from ovulation induction when trying to boost their chances of pregnancy in conjunction with other treatments.

How Does Ovulation Induction Work?

Ovulation induction involves taking oral or injectable medications to stimulate egg development. The most commonly used medications include:

• Clomiphene citrate (Clomid)
• Letrozole
• Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) injections
• Human menopausal gonadotropins (hMG)

Throughout the cycle, your OC Fertility® doctor will monitor your ovarian response using ultrasound to measure follicle growth and hormone levels to determine the best timing for fertilization.

Ovulation induction may lead to the release of more than one egg, which slightly increases the chance of multiple pregnancies (twins or more). Your provider will discuss the benefits and risks with you in detail before starting treatment.

What Happens Next?

Once your eggs are ready, ovulation induction may be paired with:

• Timed intercourse
• Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
• In vitro fertilization (IVF)

Your OC Fertility® physician will help you determine the right course of action based on your diagnosis, health history, and family-building goals.
