The hormonally induced ovulation of a greater-than-normal number of eggs.
the production of an exceptional number of ova at one time, induced in the production of transgenic animals.
the production of multiple eggs during a single menstrual cycle stimulated by fertility drugs.
The use of fertility drugs to produce multiple follicles on the ovaries.
stimulation of a larger than normal complement of follicles to mature into follicles ready for ovulation.
Drug-induced stimulation of a woman's ovaries to produce many mature oocytes in a single menstrual cycle.
A procedure to facilitate fertilization. The woman is given ovulation inducing drugs which cause her ovaries to produce multiple eggs. When the eggs are ready to be released, the woman is inseminated with her partner's sperm or donated sperm.
The use of hormonal injections to mature many eggs in the one cycle.
The use of ovulation induction agents to purposefully ovulate more than the usual single monthly oocyte.
See ovarian hyperstimulation.
The stimulation of multiple ovulation with fertilitydrugs.
the release of a larger than normal number of eggs from an ovary over a very short period of time. Superovulation is routinely induced by administering hormones. Superovulation serves a primary purpose of increasing the number of eggs available for in vitro fertilization, hence an increased number of viable embryos and an enhanced chance that a succesful implantation and pregnancy will occur.
The release of several eggs from the ovary as a result of fertility drug treatment.
The use of medication (an FSH-like drug) to encourage the ovary to produce multiple follicles and eggs in a cycle. Also, known as "controlled ovarian hyperstimulation." See also Ovarian stimulation.
Causing the maturation and ovulation of more ova than would otherwise be normal for a female. The primary hormone used for superovulation is collected from pregnant mares, and causes the same phygiological response in gilts and sows as LH and FSH.
Stimulation of the ovaries, usually done with hormones, that causes them to produce multiple eggs instead of one.
The use of fertility drugs to promote the growth of multiple follicles.
stimulation of multiple ovulation with fertility drugs; also known as controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH)
Using fertility medications to stimulate the growth of multiple follicles for ovulation. Also known as Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation (COH).
