Ovulation Induction

One of the major causes of female infertility is either complete absence of or abnormal ovulation. Successful production of oocytes is influenced by numerous hormones with very delicate balances that create the woman's normal cycle. Frequently the production of hormones is off balance, resulting in infrequent or no ovulation.
An important step to restoring good ovulation is to attempt to reestablish a balance of hormones through fertility drugs such as clomiphene citrate (Siphene), HMG (human menopausal gonadotropin), FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), or hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). To maximize the chances for success it is necessary to measure these hormones through blood tests, as well as evaluate the growth and development of the follicles containing eggs by ultrasound assessment.
