title: Human menopausal gonadotrophins in the treatment of unexplained infertility.
abstract: Ninety one patients with unexplained infertility were treated with human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). The overall pregnancy rates were 29% per patient and 11% per cycle. In patients under the age of 37, the rates were 40% per patient and 15% per cycle. Many cycles (15%) were cancelled because of poor response to stimulation and by definition these women had normal cycles prior to stimulation. Within 1 year of ceasing HMG treatment, 9 patients had conceived spontaneously and another 4 conceived by GIFT.
