Ovulation induction monitoring

Monitoring may be required to confirm that ovulation is occurring and to ensure that too many follicles are not developing. Blood tests for progesterone levels around the twenty-first day of the cycle provide an indication of ovulation (Q9.17). Ultrasound monitoring of follicular development is helpful with tablet treatment (clomiphene and tamoxifen) and is really essential with gonadotrophins. When controlled ovarian hyperstimulation is undertaken in IVF protocols, oestradiol levels are used. The need for monitoring hormone levels in IVF protocols has been questioned.^{1998-01, 2006-01}
