ovarian stimulation protocols

Ovarian stimulation protocols are medical treatments that encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs for fertility procedures like IVF. They typically involve hormonal medications, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), administered through injections over several days. The goal is to develop several mature eggs simultaneously, rather than just one, increasing chances of success. Doctors monitor progress with ultrasound scans and blood tests. Once the eggs are ready, they are collected in a minor outpatient procedure. These protocols are customized based on individual health and response to medications.
