Ovulation Induction
Ovulation Induction treatment is a method of stimulating ovulation at the beginning of the menstrual cycle. Many women suffer from imbalanced hormones that result in abnormal ovulation or an absence of ovulation. The Ovulation induction process seeks to create a balance in the hormonal levels of the patient. Hormone balance is established through fertility drugs such as hMG (human menopausal gonadotropin), FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), or hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) or clomiphene citrate. Hormones levels are measured through blood tests, while follicle development is assessed by ultrasound tests. The medication used in the ovulation induction treatment depends on the diagnosis done by the doctor at Spring IVF in Mumbai.
