title: Induction of ovulation and pregnancy with HU-FSH (Metrodin) in women with polycystic ovarian disease: summary of clinical experience.
abstract: Ten infertile patients with polycystic ovaries, who failed to conceive with clomiphene citrate, were treated with human urinary follicle stimulating hormone. In the same group of subjects, three cycles of treatment were performed to induce ovulation and pregnancy. Ovulation occurred in sixteen cycles out of eighteen. Eight pregnancies were obtained; three ended in abortions, one was an extra-uterine pregnancy and four resulted in normal deliveries. No cases of real hyperstimulation were observed.
