RETRACTED ARTICLE: Sequential clomiphene citrate/hMG versus hMG for ovulation induction in clomiphene citrate-resistant women

Abstract

The sequential CC/hMG regimen is as effective as hMG regimen for ovulation induction, produces satisfactory pregnancy results and reduces the treatment cost.

Gonadotropin Alone is a Better Drug for Ovarian Stimulation than in Combination with Clomiphene in Intrauterine Insemination

“…In the study of Ibrahim et al, CC ? Gonadotropin group had 26.7 % pregnancy rates versus 6.7 % in Gonadotropin alone [8], while Akbary et al and Ganesh and colleagues reported acceptable pregnancy rates without any statistically significant differences between the two groups [9][10][11]. Study of Ransom et al had results much similar to those of our study, with pregnancy rates for Gonadotropin alone and sequential being 0.192 and 0.09, respectively [5].…”

“…An important outcome of ovarian hyperstimulation is multiple gestations which is statistically significant in [8,13].…”

“…hMG [10]. While Ibrahim et al, in their study designed to compare CC/hMG versus hMG, found no significant difference in the groups regarding the above parameters [8]. Thus, it can be safely concluded that clomiphene has antiestrogenic effect on endometrial thickness which might affect the pregnancy rates.…”

Effects of letrozole in combination with low-dose intramuscularinjection of human menopausal gonadotropin on ovulation and pregnancy of 156 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome

“…The durations of infertility were 1-12 years, (3.2 ± 1.0) years on average. All the cases were PCOS infertility patients in line with the PCOS diagnostic criteria of the 2003 Rotterdam Conference,7 i.e. at least two of the following three were met: 1) ovulation abnormality (sporadic ovulation or no ovulation) occurred after continuous monitoring for two or more natural cycles; 2) the results of B ultrasound showed polycystic ovary; 3) patients had hyperandrogenism or showed clinical manifestations of androgen excess, and those with androgen excess caused by other diseases such as adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing’s syndrome and androgen-secreting tumors were excluded.…”

Ultrasound in Follicle Monitoring for Ovulation Induction/IUI

“…Abdelazim and Makhlouf [ 37 ] compared sequential clomiphene citrate/hMG regimen to hMG regimen for ovulation induction in clomiphene citrate-resistant women. They found that the sequential CC/hMG regimen is as effective as hMG regimen for ovulation induction, produces satisfactory pregnancy results, and reduces treatment cost.…”
