Not Ovulating? Now is the time to seek help

About half of women with infertility have what are known as ovulatory disorders. Often physicians and healthcare literature will say that these disorders are easy to treat. The better thing to say is that there are treatments that are very effective in treating ovulatory disorders.

Pinpointing a couple’s obstacles to conceiving and designing treatment plans that are tailored to each patient are the keys to that success.

Let's know first that What are ovulatory disorders?

For women who are not ovulating regularly, the cause is usually that the ovary is not receiving the appropriately timed signals to mature and release an egg. The pituitary gland, at the base of the brain, produces the hormones that control the ovaries – FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). If ovulation is not occurring in a regular, timed fashion, it is likely that the ovaries and the pituitary are not communicating appropriately.

Ovulatory disorders broadly break down into two groups: anovulation – where no ovulation at all occurs; and oligo-ovulation – where ovulation occurs infrequently or irregularly.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulation and oligo-ovulation. PCOS can prevent women from ovulating, but can also cause a number of additional symptoms such as small cysts in the ovaries, obesity, and unwanted facial hair.

Any woman with an ovulatory disorder, regardless of the type, should seek

treatment if she wants her chances of becoming pregnant to be similar to the average for women who ovulate regularly.

Fertility treatment for ovulation problems

Most women with an ovulatory disorder will begin treatment with their OB/GYN, using oral medications. These medications are designed to increase FSH levels released from the pituitary gland, thus signaling the ovaries to produce mature follicles and ovulation to occur.

When to seek help for ovulation and menstruation

Best IVF specialist in Delhi Dr. Shobha Gupta advises that couples don’t wait too long to see a Mother’s Lap IVF Centre best fertility centre in New Delhi if they are not having success. I often see patients who have already gone through six or seven unsuccessful treatment cycles with their OB/GYN. They are frustrated and demoralized, but I know there is more that we can do to help.

The first thing a fertility specialist will do is determine whether there are any issues in addition to the ovulatory disorder that would affect a couple’s fertility. Often, women who respond to clomiphene by ovulating but failed to conceive, have an additional cause of infertility such as uterine polyps or fibroids, tubal disease, endometriosis, male factor infertility, or a combination of those.

Once a treatment plan has been formulated based on each individual patient’s diagnosis, our physicians will monitor and adjust the plan throughout the patient’s cycle. We will use blood tests and ultrasounds to closely monitor progress, so a patient will know right away if the treatments making a difference.

Medication doses can be adjusted or additional medication added during the cycle, until the patient is able to achieve ovulation. Other advantages of working with a best fertility specialist include the ability to time intercourse more accurately, and to add additional treatment methods like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or, if necessary, in vitro fertilization (IVF), to help achieve pregnancy.

When treatment is tailored to a woman’s individual response, it greatly increases the chances for success and we at Mother’s Lap IVF centre are known for patient driven approach.
