Treatments include either oral medications or injectable medications. The medicine is taken at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, and the body's reaction is monitored during the menstrual cycle by ultrasound. Ovulation induction is done for a range of medical conditions, but it is most beneficial for individuals who don't naturally ovulate regularly, including those with polycystic ovarian syndrome or other irregular menstrual cycles. To enhance the number of eggs produced each month and hence the likelihood of becoming pregnant, ovulation induction can also be used on women who ovulate frequently.
