How Ovulation ​Induction Works

Ovulation induction works by you taking medication to improve the delicate balance of the hormones released from the pituitary so that ovulation can occur.

Ovulation Induction

Ovulation induction is fertility treatment to cause the release of eggs from the ovary. It increases the chances of getting pregnant.

How to use a trigger injection

Many women who have regular menstrual cycles don’t actually ovulate, or release an egg. 40-50% of fertility issues are caused by lack of ovulation.  Using a trigger injection ensures, or at least increases the likelihood of ovulation. A trigger injection also increases the amount of progesterone released from the corpus luteum, and this supports the developing pregnancy.

 

Your trigger injection will be Ovidrel, or Ovitrelle. You must use a full dose, or 250mcg. When you are using OVUNET, we will tell you when to use a trigger injection.
