Is there medication to induce ovulation?
Patient: Hello Doctor if anyone of you can help. I had IUI on 23rd December 2011 and then after I get in periods on 5th January 2012 means my IUI not successful. I have again next period on 4th February 2012 and today its my 15th day of period. I have done LH surge test today through first urine in morning but my ovulation test not came positive yet. can you pls suggest what I can do here. Can i take any medicine from 7th or 8th day of period so I can have good ovulation by 14th or 16th day. Please advise. Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing to HCM .Ovulation inducing drugs like clomephine can be taken to achieve good eggs under guidance of your doctor.  This drug should be started any day from 2nd to 4th and5 days from that. If this fails then fsh injections are given . But majority get good eggs by clomephine. Also you should monitor your follicular growth . Clomephine helps multiple follicles to mature and rupture . Thus increasing chances of pregnancy .Hope your tubal patency test is normal which you must have got done before IUI. Hope I have been helpful .Regards Dr.Deepika Patil
