Infertility Problems With Ovulation
Introduction
Women may have infertility if the ovaries do not release an egg each month, as usually occurs during a Menstrual Cycle . Ovulation problems can result from dysfunction of the part of the brain and the glands that control ovulation, from dysfunction of the ovaries, or from polycystic ovary syndrome. Women can determine whether ovulation is occurring and estimate when it occurs by measuring body temperature or using home prediction kits. Doctors use ultrasonography or blood or urine tests to evaluate ovulation problems. Drugs, usuallyclomipheneorletrozole, can often stimulate ovulation, but pregnancy does not always follow. (See also Overview of Infertility .) A problem with ovulation is a common cause of Overview of Infertility in women.
