Ovulation Induction
Ovulation induction is a type of medical therapy often performed alongside certain fertility treatments. Typically, medications that are used to help trigger the development of egg follicles are known as ovulation inducers. Ovulation induction often triggers the development of more than one egg during ovulation.
Why Induce Ovulation?
Ovulation is often induced in order to help women who cannot ovulate regularly produce an egg during their monthly cycle. Ovulation induction is also used in order to trigger the ovaries to release more than one egg during ovulation. Sometimes, inducing ovulation can allow two or three eggs to be released at once, therefore increasing your chances of pregnancy.
Who Can Benefit from Ovulation Induction?
A large percentage of women seeking fertility treatment can benefit from ovulation induction. In particular, women suffering from the following conditions may find ovulation induction particularly helpful in increasing their chances of pregnancy:
-
anovulation
-
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
-
pituitary disorders
-
irregular menstruation (oligomenorrhea)

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
ART has revolutionized the treatment of infertility. Each year thousands of babies are born in the United States as a result of ART. Medical advances have enabled many couples to have their own biological child. An ART health team includes physicians, embryologists, laboratory technicians, nurses and allied health professionals who work together to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy.
You and your partner will be attending an ART class for injection teaching and review of all procedures. You will be given a color coded calendar that explains the medication dosing schedule, the schedule of appointments planned, and the projected dates of the egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Personalized care will be provided each step of the way by your IVF Nurse Coordinators, Medical Support Team and Scientific Support Team.
The most common forms of ART include:
In vitro fertilization (IVF): This is the most effective ART technique. IVF involves retrieving mature eggs from a woman, fertilizing them with a man's sperm in a dish in a laboratory and implanting the embryos in the uterus three to five days after fertilization. IVF often is recommended when both fallopian tubes are blocked. It's also widely used for a number of other conditions, such as endometriosis, unexplained infertility, cervical factor infertility, male factor infertility and ovulation disorders. IVF increases your chances of having more than one baby at a time because often multiple fertilized eggs are often implanted back into your uterus so that there is a greater chance one will develop into a baby. IVF also requires frequent blood tests and daily hormone injections.
ICSI: This technique consists of a microscopic technique (micromanipulation) in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilization in conjunction with the standard IVF procedure.

Tubal Reversal
In many cases, tubal reversal, or tubal reanastamosis, can successfully rejoin a woman's fallopian tubes after sterilization. A consult with one of our physicians will help determine your best treatment options to achieve pregnancy.
