Ovulation Induction Services in Sharjah
At American Fertility Centre — Sharjah, our Ovulation Induction Service helps people with anovulation, irregular cycles or ovulatory-related infertility to achieve predictable, healthy ovulatory cycles using evidence-based medications (letrozole, clomiphene, or tailored gonadotropins), close ultrasound/blood monitoring, and strict safety measures to reduce risks like OHSS and multiple pregnancy.
What is ovulation induction?
Ovulation induction (OI) uses medicines to stimulate follicle development and trigger ovulation in people who do not ovulate regularly or at all. Options range from oral agents (letrozole, clomiphene citrate) for mild-to-moderate cases to injectable gonadotropins for patients who need a stronger ovarian response. Medication choice and dosing are personalised based on age, AMH/AFC, BMI and diagnosis (e.g., PCOS).
Who may benefit from OI?
People with anovulatory infertility (commonly PCOS).
Those with irregular cycles who want timed conception or IUI.
Patients who have failed to conceive with expectant management but do not yet need IVF.
A specialist consultation determines suitability and the most appropriate protocol.
Individualized medication plans
Letrozole or clomiphene as first-line oral options for many patients; step-up or tailored gonadotropin protocols when oral agents are insufficient.
Monitoring
Scheduled transvaginal ultrasound plus serum estradiol (when indicated) to track follicle growth, avoid excessive response and time the ovulation trigger or IUI. Gonadotropin stimulation without ultrasound monitoring is not recommended.
Triggering & timing
hCG or GnRH-agonist triggers to induce final oocyte maturation and precise timing for intercourse or IUI.
Safety protocols
OHSS risk assessment, dose adjustments, cycle cancellation criteria, and use of prevention strategies (e.g., GnRH-agonist trigger, “freeze-all” or mild stimulation where appropriate).
