Pregnancy happens when an egg is fertilized by the sperm. Ovulation disorders cause disruption or an absence of the release of eggs. If you are suffering from an ovulation disorder then the egg is rarely released or not release at all.

Diagnosis of ovulation disorders can usually be done by discussing the patient’s menstrual cycle history. Blood test and scans can help confirm the diagnosis.
