background: clomiphene citrate (cc) is the first line agent used for ovulation induction in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). however, there is marked discrepancy between the ovulation and pregnancy rates achieved, which may be attributed to the undesirable effect of cc on cervical mucus and endometrium. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of isosorbid mo...

The study evaluated a seminal effect on the ability to induce ovulation of a synthetic GnRH analogue, buserelin acetate, administered by vaginal mucosa in rabbit does. In a first experiment, 751 receptive nulliparous and multiparous non-lactating does were randomly assigned to groups of different seminal doses (6, 12, 24, 50, and 100 million total sperm in 0.5 mL). All seminal doses contained 5...

OBJECTIVE Pretreatment of myoinositol is a very new method that was evaluated in multiple small studies to manage poor ovarian response in assisted reproduction. This study was to determine the efficacy of myoinositol supplement in infertile women undergoing ovulation induction for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) or in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET). METHODS A meta-analy...

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of letrozole (LE) in combination with low-dose intramuscular injection of human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) on the ovulation induction and pregnancy of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS A total of 156 patients with PCOS infertility were randomly divided into an LE group, a clomiphene citrate (CC) group and an LE + HMG group (n= 52). LE ...

BACKGROUND Lymphocytic hypophysitis is an unusual autoimmune disease that causes partial or total hypopituitarism and often is associated with pregnancy. Only four spontaneous pregnancies have been reported after this disease. We report a case of ovulation induction in a woman with this antecedent as well as the course of the subsequent pregnancy. CASE Ovulation was induced with gonadotropins...

Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation is a key step for successful outcomes of assisted reproductive technique cycle outcomes. Many medications are available, which are commonly useed solely or in combination to achieve multiple follicular development. Pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and clinical information of ovulation induction drugs deserve to be elucidated for every individual patient befo...

Our aim is to document a case of endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the ovary found in an endometriotic cyst that was suspected on pelvic ultrasound in a patient with polycystic ovary syndrome, normal Ca125, and a recent history of ovulation induction for IVF. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy with left salpingo-oophorectomy and omental biopsies followed by reexploration, complete staging, an...
