Ovulation induction, superovulation and intrauterine insemination (IUI)

Women whose ovulatory problems have not responded to simpler medications (such as clomiphene tablets) become candidates for ovulation induction therapy with injectable fertility medications such Pergonal, Puregon, or Gonal-F.

Women with unexplained infertility may also wish to try superovulation therapy in which injectable fertility agents are used to increase the number of eggs produced in each cycle thereby, maximizing their chance of conception.

In either case, there must be a normal uterine cavity, at least one normal fallopian tube and a normal sperm count.
