ovulation induction





























ovulation induction is the stimulation of ovulation by medication. it is usually used in the sense of stimulation of the development of ovarian follicles to reverse anovulation or oligoovulation.





























section::::scope.





























the term "ovulation induction" can potentially also be used for:





























bullet::::- final maturation induction, in the sense of triggering "oocyte release" from relatively mature ovarian follicles during late follicular phase. in any case, ovarian stimulation (in the sense of stimulating the development of oocytes) is often used in conjunction with triggering oocyte release, such as for proper timing of artificial insemination.
ovulation induction
in females, gametogenesis is known as oogenesis; this occurs in the ovarian follicles of the ovaries. this process does not produce mature ovum until puberty. in contrast with males, each of the original diploid germ cells or primary oocytes will form only one mature ovum, and three polar bodies which are not capable of fertilization. it has long been understood that in females, unlike males, all of the primary oocytes ever found in a female will be created prior to birth, and that the final stages of ova production will then not resume until puberty. however, recent scientific research has challenged that hypothesis. this new research indicates that in at least some species of mammal, oocytes continue to be replenished in females well after birth.
