Ovulation induction in women with premature ovarian failure: a prospective, crossover study.
A prospective crossover study comparing ovulation induction techniques in eight women with premature ovarian failure is presented. These patients were treated with FSH rebound techniques using the GnRH-a, LA, alone in one treatment cycle and the same plus menopausal gonadotropins in the other treatment cycle. Two women ovulated in each group. We conclude that ovulation does occur in women with premature ovarian failure, but that luteal P may be inadequately secreted.
