| - Public Title | Treatment after six ovulatory cycles with clomiphene |
| - Scientific Title | TREATMENT ALTERNATIVES FOR SUBFERTILE WOMEN WITH CLASS II ANOVULATION NOT CONCEIVING AFTER SIX OVULATORY CYCLES WITH CLOMIPHENE CITRATE |
| - ACRONYM | N/A |
| - hypothesis | Gonadotropins after 5-7 ovulatory cycles with CC will lead to more multiple gestations and higher costs compared with extended CC treatment. Combination of CC or gonadotropins with IUI may result in a higher pregnancy rate. |
| - Healt Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied | Subfertility, Ovulation, Clomiphene |
| - Inclusion criteria | 1. Patients with five to seven ovulatory cycles after CC treatment and no conception. Ovulation is assessed by a midluteal progesterone (> 16 nmol/l), basal temperature curve, detection of LH surge or history. 2. All patients have normal serum FSH (<10 IU/l), E2 (> 80 pmol/l), prolactin (0,05 – 0,80 IU/l) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (0,4 - 4,0 mU/l). 3. All women have patent Fallopian tubes, proven by hysterosalpingography (HSG), a negative Chlamydia antibody titre (CAT) or diagnostic laparoscopy combined with tubal testing (DLS and TT). 4. The partners have normal semen parameters according to the modified criteria of the World Health Organization (1999). 5. Age between 18 and 40 years. |
| - Exclusion criteria | 1. Patients who have previously been treated with gonadotropins or IVF are excluded. 2. Patients are excluded if they have intolerable symptoms when treated with CC like hot flashes affecting daily function, headaches, vision changes, and depression. 3. Patients are excluded if they are remaining anovulatory on CC 150 mg. |

| - Brief summary | Ovulation induction with Clomiphene citrate (CC) is the first line treatment in subfertile women with WHO class II anovulation. Whereas almost 80% of these patients ovulate after CC, only 40 to 50% conceive. When unsuccessful in conception, treatment can be proceeded with gonadotropins. CC treatment is associated with a 8% risk of multiple gestation, whereas treatment with gonadotropins is associated with a risk of 30-40 %. At present, it is unclear for how many cycles ovulation induction with CC should be repeated. Alternatives are a switch to ovulation induction with gonadotropins and/or addition of intra-uterine insemination. |
