[Sequential test with clomiphene and LH-RH in cases of anovulatory sterility (author's transl)]

In sterile menstruating women with anovulatory cycle, the response of plasmatic gonadotropins and urinary total Estrogens and Pregnandiol to the administration of Clomifene and LH-RH in a sequential test is studied. Five different types of response, similar to those detected in previous studies using the LH-RH test, are identified; in them, uniformity in the response of gonadotropins exists to both LH-RH and Clomifene. The results obtained seem to confirm the existence of diverse etiopathogenic mechanisms in the alterations of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovarian axis resulting in anovulatory cycle.
