Abstract:
A study of 186 infertile women was carried out to evaluate the effect of clomiphene citrate on the follicular dynamics. All patients underwent transvaginal sonography over at least 02 consecutive cycles-spontaneous followed by clomiphene stimulated cycle. Clomiphene citrate resulted in higher average follicular diameter on all corresponding days as compared to spontaneous cycles. Multifollicular response was common in clomiphene stimulated cycles.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
