Ovulation induction and cycle monitoring in Jeddah
Ovulation induction helps the ovary release an egg when ovulation is irregular or absent. Progress is followed by ultrasound. It is often one of the first and simplest fertility steps.
What it is
Tablets or injections stimulate the ovary. The aim is for an egg to mature and be released at a time that can be tracked by monitoring.
