Ovulation induction

Ovulation induction

Ovulation induction is often the first step in fertility treatment, using medications to encourage your ovaries to release one or more eggs, increasing the opportunity for fertilization.

At Atlantic Fertility, this process is individualized, closely monitored, and guided by board-certified reproductive endocrinologists.

Encouraging your body to ovulate

Ovulation induction is ideal for women who don’t ovulate regularly, stimulating egg development and improving the timing of ovulation.

How it works

Medications stimulate the ovaries to develop and release eggs. Your physician monitors your response through bloodwork and ultrasound, then provides guidance on when to try to conceive, either through timed intercourse or IUI.
