- Irregular, infrequent, or absent menstrual periods (oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea).
- Failed response to first-line ovulation induction therapies.
- Recurrent pregnancy loss where hormonal imbalance is a suspected factor.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive hormonal blood panel to measure testosterone, DHEA-S, LH, FSH, and AMH levels.

- Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets) when using ovulation induction drugs.
- Side effects from medications, such as hot flashes, mood swings, or gastrointestinal discomfort.
- No guarantee of pregnancy despite treatment.
- Potential for procedural risks if IVF is pursued (e.g., infection, bleeding from egg retrieval).
- Emotional and psychological stress associated with fertility treatments.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery is primarily outpatient; no extended hospital stay is typical for medication-based management.
- If IVF is part of the cycle, rest is advised for 1-2 days post-egg retrieval procedure.
- Monitoring for signs of OHSS (severe abdominal pain, bloating, nausea) is crucial.
- Follow-up blood tests and ultrasounds to monitor hormone response and follicle growth.
- Emotional support and counseling are integral parts of the recovery and treatment journey.
- Patients are guided on the timing for embryo transfer (if IVF) or timed intercourse/insemination.
-
Typical hospital stay: 0 days (outpatient) or 1 day (if IVF egg retrieval is performed)
