Ovulation induction uses medications to stimulate the ovaries to release an egg. Women may require ovulation induction when they do not ovulate normally because of conditions such as:

• Polycystic ovary syndrome
• High prolactin levels
• Abnormal hormonal secretion by the brain (hypothalamic amenorrhea).

Northwestern Medicine Center for Fertility and Reproductive Medicine specialists offer oral and injectable ovulation induction therapies.
