A Study of Controlled Ovarian Stimulation with Clomiphene Citrate or Letrozole in Combination with Gonadotropins and IUI in Unexplained Infertility.
Journal of Human Reproductive Sciences 2017 July
Aim: To compare the effect of clomiphene citrate (CC) + human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) with letrozole + hMG on size, number of follicles, endometrial thickness, serum levels of oestradiol and progesterone and pregnancy rate.
Settings and Design: Non-randomised interventional study.
Patients and Methods: A total number of 60 patients in the age group of 20-35 years with unexplained infertility were divided into two groups, 30 in each. Group A received CC + hMG and group B received letrozole + hMG. In both the groups, ovulation was triggered by hCG followed by intrauterine insemination.
Results: The number of follicles on day 8 were significantly higher in the CC + hMG group than that in the letrozole + hMG group. Serum oestradiol level was significantly higher in the CC + hMG group on day 10 and on the day of hCG administration. Pregnancy rate in the CC + hMG group was 23.3% and 13.3% in the letrozole + hMG group.
Conclusion: The sequential protocol was cost-effective. CC + hMG could be a preferred ovarian stimulation protocol in couples with unexplained infertility with the added advantage of having no significant complications in properly monitored cycles.
