Encouraging the Natural First Step Toward Conception
For many couples trying to conceive, the problem lies not in fertilization or implantation — but in irregular or absent ovulation. This is where Ovulation Induction (OI) becomes a critical first step. At Sparsh IVF, our carefully tailored OI protocols help stimulate regular egg release, increasing the chances of timed conception either naturally or with assisted methods like IUI.
If you’re struggling with irregular cycles, PCOS, or unexplained infertility, ovulation induction could be the gentle nudge your body needs to start the journey to parenthood.
Ovulation Induction is a fertility treatment that uses medications to stimulate the ovaries to develop and release a mature egg during a woman’s menstrual cycle.
Normally, a woman releases one egg each month. However, if cycles are irregular, anovulatory (no ovulation), or unpredictable, the chance of conception naturally becomes very low.
OI regulates the cycle, promotes healthy follicle development, and allows for precise timing of intercourse or insemination.
Ovulation induction is commonly offered to:
OI is often the first line of treatment before considering more advanced fertility options like IVF.
At Sparsh IVF, every OI cycle is personalized based on your hormonal profile, age, and prior response. Here’s what to expect:
Medications are prescribed to stimulate ovulation:
Oral Medications:
These are taken for 5 days early in the cycle (usually Day 2 to Day 6).
Injectable Gonadotropins:
Regular ultrasounds are done from Day 9 onward to:
Once a follicle reaches 18–22 mm, an HCG trigger shot is given to initiate ovulation.
Typically, 3 to 6 cycles of ovulation induction are recommended before moving to the next step. If no pregnancy occurs or if the response is inadequate, we re-evaluate and may suggest IVF for better outcomes.
Success depends on multiple factors:
In women under 35 with regular monitoring and good response, success rates range from 15–25% per cycle.
While generally safe, some side effects may include:
At Sparsh IVF, we use low-dose, carefully titrated protocols to avoid overstimulation and reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies.
Whether this is your first fertility treatment or part of a bigger plan, our goal is simple: to help your body do what it was meant to do — with a little support and a lot of care.
Ovulation induction may not be sufficient if:
In such cases, moving to IVF or ICSI offers better chances — and we’ll guide you through that transition when the time is right.
Sometimes, all it takes is a little nudge. If ovulation is the hurdle, we’re here to help you cross it — safely, effectively, and with your comfort in mind.
