Ovulation problems are found in many women, but do not despair, because there is a solution to this problem. Stimulation of ovulation (also called ovulation induction) is a great chance for an early conception of the baby. This method is widely used in gynecology and reproductive medicine. In what cases should you resort to the method of stimulating ovulation? What is its effectiveness and how is it carried out? You will learn from this article about this stimulation and much more.

Stimulation of ovulation: what you need to know?

Stimulation of ovulation is a popular method of assisted reproductive medicine. It allows you to solve the problem of infertility and, due to an increase in the number of ovulatory cycles, increases the probability of a woman becoming pregnant.

Ovulation stimulation is used in the absence of natural ovulation (anovulation). Ovulation induction is prescribed in cases where the ovaries are not able to form a mature egg. 

Before stimulating ovulation to conceive, a woman must undergo a full examination in order to identify the causes of infertility. This allows the attending physician to choose an effective stimulation scheme and to achieve high safety of the whole process.

Stimulated ovulation: the essence of the method

The essence of this drug method is to act on the ovaries with the help of drugs similar to hormones produced in a woman’s body. They enhance the release of hormones for ovulation. In other words, such drug therapy is designed to help ovulation and is aimed at the exit of a mature egg. Stimulation makes it possible to get more eggs. For this, the patient is prescribed drugs (gonadotropins) that affect the content of follicle-stimulating hormone, which lead to the maturation and exit of the follicle of several eggs at once.

Ovulation stimulation takes place in stages: ⠀

  1. The doctor prescribes medicines (individually).
  2. Due to the ultrasound examination, cyclical monitoring of ovarian function and their condition is performed. ⠀
  3. After the injection of the drug, hCG starts the process of release of the egg from the follicle. 
  4. After ovulation, intercourse or artificial insemination is implemented. ⠀

Within IVF, as soon as the follicle reaches a certain size, ovarian puncture is prescribed to obtain eggs for successful fertilization.

Stimulation of ovulation means a high chance of getting pregnant

Stimulated ovulation is absolutely safe. It allows you to restore fertility in many women with anovulation in a short time. This method involves the intake of special hormones, the type, dosage and dosage regimen of which are selected individually. Prescribed drugs should be taken strictly on the recommendation of a doctor. The effectiveness of this drug method can be assessed by the results of ultrasound monitoring of follicular maturation (folliculometry).

Ovulation stimulation is an opportunity to:

• form a full-fledged egg, which is capable of fertilization, and push it to exit the follicle;

• get more eggs;

• conceive a healthy child in the very near future.

This method is appropriate for:

• Anovulatory infertility (hormonal disruptions, polycystic ovary disease, inflammatory ovarian disease, overweight or underweight women, etc.).

• Infertility of unclear origin (if after a comprehensive examination the causes of infertility are not found).

Stimulation of ovulation is a great method for conceiving a baby

Today, this procedure has proven itself in modern reproductive medicine. It helps to cure infertility and feel the joy of long-awaited motherhood. As a rule, most patients tolerate ovulation stimulation and in about 70% of cases a long-awaited pregnancy occurs. The success of the method depends on impaired follicular maturation, patient age, and general health.

During the stimulation period, dieting for weight loss and bad habits is prohibited. It is important for the patient to have good nutrition, a minimum of stress and a maximum of positive emotions.

Stimulated ovulation is performed without any complex laboratory actions and the availability of special equipment, such as IVF. A woman does not need to be in a hospital.
