Is ovulation induction and time intercourse the same?

By Esther Marbán Bermejo M.D. (gynecologist on Clínica Tambre).
Last Update: 02/05/2021

No, ovulation induction is the process by which the growth of 1 or several follicles of the ovary is produced thanks to the administration of drugs called Gonadotropins. After this, ovulation is usually triggered in a controlled manner.

Once this ovulation induction has been performed, intercourse can be programmed, that is to say, the couple can be told when ovulation will occur approximately and when they should have sexual intercourse to increase the chances of pregnancy.
