Triplet pregnancy after low-dose pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone in polycystic ovarian disease.
In a patient with polycystic ovarian disease, low-dose intravenous pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (5 mcg every hour) and no exogenous human chorionic gonadotropin induced multiple follicular development and elevated estrogen levels and resulted in a triplet pregnancy. Patients with polycystic ovarian disease may have a higher risk of complications and should be monitored more closely during ovulation induction with pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
