title: HMG-HCG therapy in patients with hypergonadotropic ovarian anovulation: one pregnancy case report and ovulation and pregnancy rate.
abstract: The aim of this study is to advocate the delivery of human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) therapy to patients with hypergonadotropic ovarian anovulation (Hyper-OA). HMG-HCG therapy was carried out in six patients (16 cycles) with Hyper-OA and nine patients (26 cycles) with hypogonadotropic pituitary anovulation (Hypo-PA) as controls. In this study, two patients with Hyper-OA ovulated after HMG-HCG therapy, and one of them conceived in the next cycle of the therapy. This patient is presented in detail as a case report. The ovulation rate in Hyper-OA proved to be 33.3% of patients and 12.5% of cycles as compared with 100% of patients with Hypo-PA and 65.3% of their cycles. These results suggest that although ovulation and pregnancy rate are very low, it is worth trying HMG-HCG therapy in patients with Hyper-OA, at least for one or two cycles.
