Ovulation induction with gonadotropins is effective for anovulatory infertility, leading to a 46% overall pregnancy rate. This treatment also shows a low incidence of complications, making it beneficial before in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Infertility Management

Background:

  • Anovulatory infertility affects a significant number of women seeking fertility treatments.
  • Ovulation induction is a key component in managing anovulatory infertility.
  • Assessing outcomes of gonadotropin therapy is crucial for optimizing treatment protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the pregnancy rates and complication incidence in anovulatory patients undergoing ovulation induction with gonadotropins.
  • To assess the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in patients previously treated with ovulation induction.
  • To determine the efficacy of gonadotropin therapy as a precursor to IVF.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of data from 75 patients treated over a 4-year period.
  • Inclusion of 91 treatment episodes and 273 ovulation induction cycles.

  • Follow-up assessment of outcomes in subsequent in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.

    • Main Results:

    • Cumulative pregnancy rate reached 34% after three cycles and 46% overall.
    • Clinical pregnancy rate per cycle was 15.4%, and per ovulatory cycle was 21%.
    • Multiple pregnancy rate was 12%, with no cases of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).

    Conclusions:

    • Ovulation induction with gonadotropins demonstrates significant benefit for anovulatory patients.
    • The treatment protocol is associated with a favorable pregnancy rate and a low risk of OHSS.
    • Pre-IVF ovulation induction with gonadotropins is a valuable strategy for improving IVF success rates in anovulatory infertility.
