    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Infertility Management

    Background:

    • Anovulation is a common cause of infertility in women.
    • Several pharmacological agents can induce ovulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the appropriate use of clomiphene citrate and human gonadotropins for ovulation induction.
    • To provide guidance on selecting the first-line treatment based on patient characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established protocols for ovulation induction.
    • Categorization of patient profiles for treatment selection.

    Main Results:

    • Clomiphene citrate is recommended for anovulatory women with active ovaries, post-pill amenorrhea, or hypothalamic/pituitary dysfunction.
    • Human gonadotropins are indicated as a second-line treatment after clomiphene failure, or as a first-line therapy for primary amenorrhea with quiescent ovaries or anatomical abnormalities.

    Conclusions:

    • The choice between clomiphene citrate and human gonadotropins depends on the specific cause and presentation of anovulatory infertility.
    • Re-evaluation is advised if ovulation is not achieved after two courses of gonadotropic therapy.
