Transcript
At King's Fertility, we use a range of medications for ovulation induction. We would often start with a less invasive, and we'll have a gradual progression. So we can start with medications like clomiphene citrate, or in fact, it's Clomid, or letrozole, and these are taken in the form of tablets. As a next step, we can give these medications or stimulate follicular growth in the form of injections. And these injections are taken on daily basis to stimulate the follicles to grow. And the step beyond that would be to progress to a more intensive form of ovulation induction in the form of IVF.
