Anovulation refers to the process where the ovary fails to release an egg during the menstrual cycle. This condition often leads to irregular or absent periods and is a common cause of infertility in women of reproductive age.
Anovulation is most often caused by hormonal imbalances that disrupt the signals between the brain and the ovaries. These imbalances can result from conditions affecting the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, or from ovarian conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Other factors that may contribute include being significantly overweight or underweight, thyroid disorders, chronic stress, intensive exercise, or the natural hormonal shifts that occur as women approach menopause (perimenopause).
If you have PCOS or are overweight, even a modest amount of weight loss can help restore regular ovulation and improve fertility. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress are essential steps that can have a big impact.
The most commonly prescribed medications to help your body ovulate are letrozole and clomiphene citrate. These are taken orally. If they don’t work, hormone injections (gonadotropins) may be considered as the next step.
If you have insulin resistance, which is common in women with PCOS, other oral medications such as metformin may be used. It can help improve your body’s insulin response and, in turn, support more regular ovulation.
If your anovulation is related to thyroid problems, high prolactin levels, or other hormone-related conditions, treating the root cause can help restore regular menstrual cycles and ovulation.
