Ovarian Induction

What is Ovarian/Ovulation Induction

Hormonal treatment is used to increase egg growth and discharge, often known as ovulation induction. Traditionally, these medications were used to help females who couldn’t conceive naturally. Women who have abnormal menstruation cycles are the most common. The objective was to get only one good egg. 

The next purpose of ovulation induction would have been to raise the quantity of mature eggs in something like a particular period in order to enhance the possibilities of pregnancy. Vitro fertilisation (IVF) was initially used for this therapy, and parenteral medicines were used only subsequently for simpler procedures. Numerous gestation, ovary hyperstimulation, and greater expense and effort investment are all risks associated with these drugs.

IVF stimulation

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a complicated set of treatments used to aid in the creation of a newborn or to support with fertility and to minimize inherited abnormalities. In IVF, healthy eggs are extracted (retrieved) from the ovaries and fertilised in a laboratory with sperm. After that the fertilised egg (embryo) or embryos are transported to a uterus for further development. IVF takes roughly three weeks to complete. When these processes are broken down into smaller chunks, the procedure may require much time.

But this procedure has many side effects. The following is a collection of IVF stimulation side effects:

  • Hot flashes
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • blurred vision etc.

Medications Use for Ovulation Induction

Ovulation induction treatment is a method of regulating a female’s reproduction hormones and increasing the probability of ovulation using a range of hormone-based drugs. The following are several of the most regularly prescribed medications.

Clomiphen citrate: Enhances ovulation in females who produce healthy pituitary (brain gland) hormones yet do not experience the regular monthly fluctuations in those hormones. Clomid is the brand name for this medicine that most people are familiar with.

Aromatase inhibitors: This class of drug, which has similar benefits of clomiphene citrate, is particularly beneficial in PCOS sufferers. Several individuals are familiar with this medicine as letrozole by Femara. 

Agents that increase insulin sensitivity: These are prescribed for some PCOS individuals with hyperglycemia or hypertension. Metformin is the most common name for this drug.

Gonadotropins:  Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) are two parenteral hormones that promote egg formation and are ordinarily generated through the pituitary gland. Gonadotropins, unlike clomiphene citrate and letrozole, need extra periodic supervision due to their potency in stimulating egg formation. Multiple pregnancies plus ovarian hyperstimulation disease (OHSS), which causes the ovaries to grow overstimulated as well as enlarged, are also concerns.

The procedure of ovulation induction:

Stimulation: Through the assistance of medicines, women ovaries are activated. They encourage the development of follicles that hold the eggs. 

Control: Periodic imaging techniques, sometimes described as follicular monitoring, as well as plasma examinations are used to track the ovaries activity. These are useful for regulating the number and volume of follicles.

Release of the eggs: Human Chronic Gonadotropin (HCG) shots are used to help the egg develop until it loosens from ovarian follicle surface. Whenever the follicles or egg membranes achieve a size of 18 to 20mm, triggering is generally scheduled to aid in the ultimate development and discharge the eggs or embryos.

IUI or scheduled sexual intercourse: Approximately 36 hours after the triggered shot, the pair is encouraged to tentatively engage in sexual activity. During fertilization, doctors use ultrasonography to detect if the follicles which have formed synchronously have been discharged or not. This also aids in determining the best times to initiate sexual relations in order to increase the possibilities of conception.

Risks of Ovulation induction:

OHSS is a side effect of ovulation induction drugs. The Ovulation induction side effects can vary from moderate to extreme, and they normally go away within a few months if left untreated. They may involve the following: 1. Shortness of breath, 2. severe hot flushes, 3. putting on weight, 4. hazy eyesight etc.

In India, the price of ovulation induction therapy with pharmaceuticals or minimum gonadotrophins ranges from Rs.2000 to Rs.10000, based on the quantity of gonadotrophins necessary. In the event of ovulation induction in IVF instances for Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation, the cost can range from Rs 75, 000 to Rs 1, 00,000.
