For many couples, the dream of parenthood can sometimes feel just out of reach. Infertility is a sensitive and often overwhelming journey, but the good news is that medical science offers multiple paths to parenthood today. One of the first and most effective steps in this journey is Ovarian Induction therapy, a non-invasive fertility treatment that can gently nudge your body toward regular ovulation.
At SCI IVF Hospital, a leading fertility center in India, thousands of hopeful parents have taken their first step toward conception through this therapy. Whether you’re just beginning your fertility journey or seeking additional support for an underlying condition like PCOS, Ovarian Induction therapy might be the right place to start.

What is Ovarian Induction Therapy?
Ovulation—the monthly release of an egg from the ovaries—is at the heart of every natural pregnancy. However, for some women, this process doesn’t happen regularly or at all. This irregular or absent ovulation is often due to hormonal imbalances or conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or even lifestyle factors like stress or excessive exercise.
Ovarian Induction therapy is designed to stimulate the ovaries using fertility medications, helping the body to ovulate more predictably or even produce multiple eggs when needed. The approach is tailored to each woman’s hormonal profile and medical background, making it both safe and effective.
At SCI IVF Hospital, our team of experienced fertility specialists customizes this treatment using detailed diagnostic tools such as blood tests and ultrasound monitoring, ensuring every patient receives a plan that best suits her needs.
Â
Â
How Does Ovarian Induction Work?
The process starts at the beginning of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Depending on her individual hormone levels and medical history, the fertility doctor will prescribe specific medications such as:
-
Clomid or Letrozole: Oral medications that stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), encouraging the ovaries to mature an egg.
-
FSH Injections: These are direct hormone shots that help multiple follicles (and thus eggs) grow.
-
HCG Trigger Shot: Once the eggs are mature, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is used to trigger their release (ovulation).
Throughout the cycle, regular ultrasounds and hormone tests track the growth of follicles and predict the optimal time for conception. Depending on the individual case, this therapy may be paired with timed intercourse, IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), or even IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).

Who Can Benefit from Ovarian Induction?
Ovarian Induction is especially beneficial for:
-
Women with irregular or absent periods
-
Those diagnosed with PCOS
-
Women with hormonal imbalances (such as abnormal AMH, FSH, or LH levels)
-
Patients facing unexplained infertility
-
Women preparing for IVF and needing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation to retrieve multiple eggs
In cases where male factor infertility is also involved, Ovarian Induction may be combined with other advanced procedures, such as Surgical Sperm Retrieval, ensuring both partners are supported in the process.
Â
Â
Are There Any Risks?
Like any medical treatment, Ovarian Induction comes with some risks, although they are usually mild and manageable. One of the most talked-about is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), a condition where the ovaries react too strongly to the medications. Symptoms may include bloating, nausea, mild headaches, and in rare cases, blurry vision. Fortunately, with close monitoring—standard practice at SCI IVF Hospital—these symptoms can be managed effectively, and severe cases are extremely rare.
Â
Â
Frozen Embryo Transfer and Ovarian Induction
At SCI IVF Hospital, many women who go through Ovarian Induction eventually choose Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) as part of their fertility plan. FET involves using previously frozen embryos created through IVF. The hormonal environment of an induced cycle can often improve the chances of implantation when combined with a carefully timed embryo transfer.
This synergy between therapies helps improve success rates while allowing couples to plan and time their pregnancies in the safest, most effective manner possible.

Surgical Sperm Retrieval Cost & Process
In many infertility cases, both partners require assistance. If the male partner has issues like azoospermia (absence of sperm in semen), SCI IVF Hospital offers Surgical Sperm Retrieval methods such as TESA, PESA, or micro-TESE.
The process involves minor outpatient procedures under local anesthesia to extract sperm directly from the testes or epididymis. These retrieved sperm are then used for ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) as part of the IVF cycle.
Surgical Sperm Retrieval Cost in India is significantly lower compared to Western countries, making it an affordable and accessible solution for many international patients as well. At SCI IVF Hospital, these procedures are performed by top urologists and embryologists, ensuring maximum chances of successful fertilization.
