Question 1

What medications are used?

Accepted Answer

Common medications include Letrozole, Clomid, or injectable gonadotropins, tailored to your specific hormonal profile.

Question 2

Are there side effects?

Accepted Answer

Side effects are generally mild and may include hot flashes, mood swings, or bloating. We monitor you closely to ensure safety.

Question 3

How do I know if ovulation induction is working?

Accepted Answer

We track it directly with follicle-tracking ultrasounds and, where needed, a blood progesterone test after ovulation — rather than relying on ovulation predictor kits alone, which can be unreliable in PCOS.

Question 4

Can ovulation induction cause a multiple pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

There is a modest increase in twin risk with oral medication and a higher one with injectable gonadotropins, which is exactly why we monitor follicle growth closely and adjust or cancel a cycle if too many follicles develop.

Question 5

How many cycles of ovulation induction should we try?

Accepted Answer

Most pregnancies from ovulation induction happen within 3 to 6 monitored cycles. Beyond that, we re-evaluate rather than repeating the same approach indefinitely.

Question 6

Does PCOS affect how ovulation induction medication is dosed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PCOS ovaries are more sensitive to stimulation, so we typically start at a lower dose and increase gradually to avoid overstimulation.
