This pyramid shows how a number of eggs is lost at each stage of the IVF-ICSI process and hence COH becomes an inseperable part of a conventional stimulation cycle.

Ovulation induction is done with the help of following agents:

  • Oral medications
  • Gonadotropins
  • Monitoring is done with the help of trans vaginal sonography to monitor the follicular (fluid filled sacs which contain eggs) number and size and serum estradiol level in certain cases when deemed necessary.
  • Trigger injection is administered once follicles mature sized about 18 – 20 mm with good vascularity.
