Ovulation Induction (OI) and Cycle Monitoring are foundational fertility treatments designed to stimulate and track ovulation in women who are not ovulating regularly — or at all. This process can significantly increase the chances of natural conception or support procedures like timed intercourse or IUI.
At Dr. Aishwarya’s clinic, these treatments are tailored to your body’s unique hormonal patterns, with close monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Ovulation induction involves using oral or injectable medications to stimulate the ovaries to release one or more mature eggs. Simultaneously, cycle monitoring tracks the body’s hormonal and follicular changes to identify the best time for conception.
It’s a gentle and non-invasive fertility strategy — often the first line of treatment for many women struggling with irregular cycles, PCOS, or unexplained infertility.
This treatment is especially beneficial for:
It’s also commonly recommended for younger women or couples with normal fertility investigations but inconsistent ovulation.
Here’s what to expect during a typical Ovulation Induction & Monitoring cycle with Dr. Aishwarya:
An ultrasound scan is done to check for ovarian cysts and assess endometrial thickness. Hormonal blood tests may also be advised.
You may be prescribed oral medications (e.g., Letrozole or Clomiphene) or injectable gonadotropins, taken for 5–7 days to stimulate follicle growth.
Starting from Day 9–10, transvaginal ultrasounds are performed every 2–3 days to monitor the size and number of growing follicles.
When the lead follicle reaches maturity (usually 18–20 mm), an HCG injection (“trigger shot”) is given to stimulate ovulation.
Based on your plan, ovulation is timed for natural conception, IUI, or further treatment.
After ovulation, medications may be prescribed to support the uterine lining and enhance implantation chances.
Highly personalised protocols — Based on hormonal profiling, cycle history, and ultrasound findings
Minimised risk of overstimulation — Careful dose selection and close monitoring to avoid complications
Holistic PCOS management — For women with weight or insulin issues
Transparent communication — Understand your follicles, lining, and exact timeline at every step
Track record of success — With many couples conceiving through well-timed, low-intervention cycles
The goal is to stimulate 1–2 follicles. Dr. Aishwarya uses the lowest effective dose to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies.
Typically 2–3 scans per cycle, but this may vary based on how your body responds.
No. Ovulation medications are usually well tolerated. Follicular scans are done transvaginally and may cause mild discomfort, not pain.
Yes, but you'll need to be available for at least 2–3 visits during your cycle. Coordination and flexibility are key.
Don’t worry — protocols can be adjusted. Ovulation induction often requires tweaking doses across cycles to find your best response.
Let’s support your natural fertility and guide your ovulation with precision, not pressure.
