If ovulation problems are keeping you from getting pregnant, we’re here to help.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a frequent cause of irregular ovulation or anovulation, which can cause infertility. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant: read on for the ways we can help you conceive, even in the face of ovulation problems.

Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago > Ovulation Treatment

How is ovulation induction performed?

There are several types of ovulation drug therapy to treat problems with ovulation:


  • Clomid (Serophene, clomiphene citrate): Clomid is an oral tablet that is taken either days 3-7 or 5-9 of the menstrual cycle.


  • Femara (Letrozole) and other aromatase inhibitors: Like Clomid, Letrozole is an oral tablet taken early in the menstrual cycle. Sometimes, for women who don’t respond to Clomid, Letrozole may work.


  • Metformin: An oral medication that can induce ovulation in some women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).


  • Injectable gonadotropins, injectable FSH hormone products: These injections are started early in the menstrual cycle and continued for approximately 8-14 days. Over 90% of anovulatory women can have ovulation induced with this type of therapy.


  • Bromocriptine: Anovulation caused by elevated levels of the pituitary hormone hormone prolactin can be treated with a medication called bromocriptine.

This makes it difficult or downright impossible to get pregnant on your own. Good news: there are a variety of ways to induce ovulation, and most are relatively conservative, affordable treatments, with good probability for success.
