Ovarian Stimulation

Ovarian stimulation is a medical process often used in fertility treatments to encourage a woman's ovaries to produce multiple eggs rather than the single egg that typically develops each month. This is achieved through hormonal medications that stimulate the ovaries. The goal is to increase the number of eggs available for retrieval for in vitro fertilization (IVF) or other assisted reproductive techniques. Monitoring through ultrasounds and blood tests occurs to ensure the process is effective and safe, allowing doctors to adjust medications as necessary to optimize outcomes for patients seeking to conceive.
