Ovulation Induction

Ovulation Induction Treatment in Dallas–Fort Worth

Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment used to help your ovaries release eggs regularly. At Conceive Fertility Center in Dallas–Fort Worth, TX, we use safe and effective medications—like Clomid, Letrozole, and injectable hormones—to support women who have irregular or absent ovulation.

What Is Ovulation Induction?
Ovulation induction uses medications to stimulate the ovaries to release eggs. This treatment is commonly used for women with:

• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Hormonal imbalances
• Unexplained infertility

It may be used alone or combined with intrauterine insemination (IUI) for higher success rates.

Which Medications Are Used?

•   Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate)
  An oral medication that stimulates the brain to release hormones that trigger ovulation.
• Letrozole (Femara)
  A commonly used alternative to Clomid—especially effective for women with PCOS.
• Injectable Gonadotropins
  Hormones that directly stimulate the ovaries to grow one or more eggs.
• Trigger Shot
  A medication given to mimic the natural LH surge and time ovulation precisely for intercourse or IUI.

How Ovulation Induction Works

1. Baseline Visit
   Ultrasound and bloodwork to check starting hormone levels and ensure it’s safe to begin.
2. Medication Phase
   You take your prescribed medication (Clomid, Letrozole, or injections) at home for several days.
3. Monitoring Ultrasound
   We track the growth of follicles and check estrogen levels to determine the best timing.
4. Trigger Shot & Ovulation Timing
   When a follicle is mature, a trigger shot may be used to schedule ovulation precisely.
5. Intercourse or IUI
   Ovulation induction may be paired with timed intercourse or IUI depending on your care plan.

What Are the Success Rates?
Success depends on age, diagnosis, and the type of medication used. Many women ovulate successfully with Clomid or Letrozole, and others may benefit from adding IUI or IVF. Your specialist will help determine the most effective approach.

Are There Side Effects?
Most side effects are mild:

• Bloating
• Mood changes
• Headaches
• Temporary hot flashes

Injectable medications may increase the risk of multiple gestation, which is why careful monitoring is important.
