Oral Ovulation Induction (OI)
Ovulation induction uses medicines to stimulate the ovaries to grow and release eggs - especially helpful for women who don't ovulate regularly, such as those with PCOS. Medications like clomiphene citrate or letrozole are started early in the cycle and egg growth is monitored through ultrasound.
