title: Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation regimens in assisted reproductive technologies.
abstract: The goal of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is to influence the recruitment of multiple, mature ovarian follicles. Several methods, including spontaneous cycle ART, clomiphene-based ART regimens, and gonadotropin regimens with and without adjuncts, are used. The controversies surrounding these techniques and their relative advantages and drawbacks are reviewed.
