Hormonal imbalance may result in conditions like PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) which leads to problems in ovulation. Problems in Pituitary glands and Hypothalamus may result in a hormonal imbalance. Structural problems in the ovaries such as ovarian cysts also may affect ovulation. Other general problems like thyroid problems, being overweight, stress, etc. may also affect the menstrual cycle which in turn result in ovulation problems. Chemotherapy to treat cancer may also result in abnormal ovulation.
Controlling thyroid problems can also help treating irregular ovulation.

The menstrual cycle is very intricately related to the endocrine system as well. So, a perfect balance in the hormone levels is necessary for the ovulation to take place normally. Both an over-active and under-active thyroid can lead to ovulations problems. You can take doses of thyroxin under the supervision of a doctor to restore the functioning of the thyroid and thus the menstrual cycle.

Bravelle is a drug that helps in restoring the levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in women. This hormone is highly responsible for bringing about ovulation. But it is not used alone. It is used with another hormone that stimulates ovulation, that is, hCG. With both of these hormones administered to your body, you can get rid of ovulation problems. This drug can be injected into your body. Bravelle can also be taken orally. So, if you don t want injections, you have another option.
