title: The use of synthetic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone to induce ovulation.
abstract: The therapeutic use of synthetic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) to induce ovulation has been explored. Three dosage schemes have been compared: a single dose of LH-RH, multiple doses of LH-RH, and LH-RH used in combination with human menopausal gonadotrophins (HMG). The results of these three schemes are presented and compared; the last regimen has proved most successful, with a high pregnancy rate, a low incidence of multiple pregnancy and no evidence of ovarian hyperstimulation.
