RAD’s team of fertility experts always perform a detailed workup for every patient to determine the best first course of treatment. Many patients are happy to learn that they do not need to move immediately towards an advanced procedure such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), and that ‘low tech’ infertility treatment options are lower cost and require less medication. These basic infertility treatments include:
Ovulation induction (OI) uses treatment medication (orally or injectable) to stimulate the production of one or more oocytes (eggs) which are carefully monitored via ultrasound to evaluate maturity. Ovulation induction is performed prior to an intrauterine insemination to increase the likelihood of a pregnancy. For patients undergoing more advanced treatment, OI is performed prior to an egg retrieval.
