Ovulation Induction (OI)

Ovulation Induction (OI) is a safe, effective fertility treatment Connect IVF offers designed to help those who are not ovulating regularly (or at all) to release an egg and improve their chances of conceiving. Whether you’re just starting your fertility journey or have been trying for a while, OI can increase your chances of achieving a pregnancy with natural intercourse.

What is Ovulation Induction?

Ovulation Induction is the next step up from simply tracking your natural passive ovulation. It uses fertility medications to actively encourage the ovaries to ovulate an egg. Ovulation Induction involves your Fertility Specialist designing an evidence-based medication treatment program for you to follow and monitoring your response to that treatment with regular hormone bloods tests and ultrasound scans to determine when to induce ovulation and accurately time intercourse with your partner. The induction of ovulation removes the need to wait for the body to do this naturally in those that have or may have a dysfunction in this process. Intercourse timed with actual ovulation means the egg and sperm have a chance of meeting in the fertile window to allow for the chance of conception.

Who can benefit from Ovulation Induction:

  • Those who are anovulatory (do not ovulate), have irregular or absent periods
  • Those with diagnosed PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)  
  • Those with patent fallopian tubes (unobstructed fallopian tubes that can allow passage of the ovulated egg to meet with sperm)
  • Those with only mild fertility factors affecting their chance of conception, or those that have no identified reason (unexplained fertility)

Let’s take the next step together
