Ovulation Induction & Follicular Monitoring in Delhi
Medication to produce a mature egg, with scans to confirm it actually happens.
What ovulation induction & follicular monitoring involves
Anovulation — not releasing an egg — is one of the commonest and most treatable causes of infertility, and PCOS is the usual reason. Letrozole or clomiphene stimulate follicle development, with gonadotrophin injections used when tablets fail.
Monitoring matters as much as the drug. Scans from around day nine confirm that a follicle is actually growing, show when it is mature, and let us time intercourse or IUI precisely instead of guessing from a calendar.
Who this is for
- PCOS with irregular or absent ovulation
- Irregular cycles with no other identified cause
- Luteal phase deficiency
- Timed intercourse or IUI cycles
Not everything on this list means you need this treatment. The workup comes first, and the recommendation follows from what it shows — not from what was booked before you arrived.
Step by step
Baseline scan
A day-two or day-three scan excludes cysts and confirms you can start.
Medication
Letrozole or clomiphene from day two to day six, or low-dose injections if tablets have not worked.
Follicular tracking
Scans from day nine, every two to three days, until a follicle reaches maturity.
Trigger and timing
A trigger injection sets ovulation, and intercourse or IUI is timed to it.
Your results, in writing
Whatever the outcome of ovulation induction & follicular monitoring, you leave each stage with the findings written down — what was done, what was found, what it means, and what the options are from here. Reports are issued the same day wherever the laboratory allows it.
What is different about having this done here
Letrozole preferred in PCOS, where it outperforms clomiphene
Every cycle monitored by scan, never prescribed blind
Endometrial thickness checked, since clomiphene can thin it
Clear limit of six ovulatory cycles before moving on
Treated by the consultant, not by a rotating team
Dr. Tiwari performs the scans, the procedure and the follow-up herself, and looks after any pregnancy that results. Over a long treatment course that continuity is the difference between being known and being processed.

Questions about ovulation induction & follicular monitoring
Which is better, letrozole or clomiphene?
For PCOS, letrozole produces higher ovulation and live birth rates and thins the endometrium less. It is our usual first choice.
Will these tablets cause twins?
The risk is small — roughly 5–7% with properly monitored cycles. Monitoring is what keeps it small, by cancelling cycles with too many mature follicles.
