Ovulation Induction

Ovulation induction is the first step in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process.

Normal ovulation in a fertile woman produces one egg, ovulation induction with medications stimulates many follicles in the ovaries to develop so that several eggs can be retrieved for the in vitro procedure. Doctors will evaluate the patient frequently during this procedure to make sure the follicles, or egg sacs, are developing properly and to determine the right time to retrieve the eggs. When the follicles are developed, the doctor will retrieve the mature eggs.
