Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from the ovary during the menstrual cycle. It usually happens about 14 days before the next period, though this can range from roughly 12 to 18 days depending on cycle length.
Ovulation is essential for natural conception, because it provides the egg that sperm can fertilise. When ovulation is irregular or does not happen at all, conceiving naturally becomes difficult and this is exactly the problem ovulation induction is designed to solve.
Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment that uses medication to stimulate the ovaries to develop and release one or more mature eggs. It is one of the simplest and most affordable first-line fertility treatments, and is often the first step for women whose main obstacle to pregnancy is irregular or absent ovulation.
At New Hope IVF in Sharjah, treatment is carefully tailored to each patient. Throughout the cycle we monitor follicle growth with ultrasound and blood tests so we can time conception precisely and keep the treatment safe.
Medications used for ovulation induction may include:

The success of ovulation induction depends on your age, the underlying cause of infertility, and the medication used. Most women with ovulation problems such as PCOS do begin to ovulate on treatment, and pregnancy rates build up over several cycles rather than in a single attempt. Ovulation induction is usually tried for a set number of cycles; if pregnancy does not happen in that time, your specialist may recommend moving on to IUI or IVF/ICSI.
We discuss realistic, personalised expectations with you before starting, so you understand what the treatment can and cannot do in your situation.
Ovulation induction is a low-risk, well-established treatment, but there are two effects we monitor for.
The first is a multiple pregnancy (twins), because stimulating the ovaries can lead to more than one egg being released.
The second is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), an over-response of the ovaries that is uncommon with tablets and more relevant with injectables. Careful ultrasound monitoring and dose adjustment are exactly how we keep both risks low which is why attending your tracking scans matters.

No. Ovulation induction uses medication to help your ovaries release eggs so conception can happen inside the body, through timed intercourse or IUI. IVF is a laboratory procedure where eggs are collected and fertilised outside the body. Ovulation induction is simpler, less invasive, and more affordable, and is often tried first.
A single ovulation induction cycle usually takes about two to three weeks, from your baseline scan at the start of your period to the trigger injection and fertile window.
Both are oral tablets that stimulate ovulation. Letrozole is often preferred for women with PCOS, while Clomiphene is a long-established option. Your specialist chooses based on your diagnosis and how you respond.
Ovulation induction is usually tried for a limited number of cycles. If pregnancy has not happened in that time, your fertility specialist will discuss the next step, such as IUI or IVF.
It can slightly increase the chance of a multiple pregnancy, because more than one egg may be released. Ultrasound monitoring during your cycle helps keep this risk low.
