Ovulation Monitoring

Ovulation monitoring is a standard process in infertility treatments. It is especially the first choice treatment method when the woman has issues related to ovulation. Ovulation-related problems are among the most common causes of female infertility.

By correcting ovulation problems, couples can achieve pregnancy. However, first it must be determined whether ovulation has occurred or not.

For this purpose, hormone analyses, ultrasonography, and endometrial biopsy may be required. The openness or blockage of the patient’s fallopian tubes and the sperm characteristics of the partner are also examined simultaneously.

How is Ovulation Monitoring Treatment (Ovulation Induction) Performed?

The necessary tests are performed on the patient, followed by transvaginal ultrasonography. Then, a decision is made regarding ovulation induction. This helps determine whether the patient is developing eggs and the timing of ovulation.

Ovulation monitoring treatment is applied using various medications. The choice of medication depends on the health condition of the patient. Proper dosage and correct medication use are important factors for success. Medication use continues until the follicles containing the eggs reach a certain size.

The patient is closely monitored. When the follicles reach approximately 18-20 mm, a trigger injection is given. Afterward, sexual intercourse is recommended. If pregnancy does not occur, insemination treatment is started after four months.

Who is Ovulation Monitoring Treatment Suitable For?

Ovulation monitoring treatment can be applied to women with irregular or absent menstruation, unexplained infertility, or some male infertility issues. Candidates for the treatment are determined through a medical examination by the doctor.

When is Ovulation Monitoring Treatment Performed?

Ovulation induction in infertility typically begins between the 2nd and 5th day of menstruation. How the treatment is monitored depends on the medication used and the treatments applied.

Which Medications are Used in Ovulation Monitoring Treatment?

The medications used in ovulation induction are personalized. After analyzing the patient’s health condition, the appropriate medication is selected. The main goal of this treatment is to successfully restore previously problematic ovulation, regulate ovulation, and increase the number of eggs to improve the chances of pregnancy.

The medications used in ovulation induction are applied in different doses, combinations, medical treatments, and durations.
