PCOS - infertility Rx

Both recombinant FSH and human menopausal gonadotrophin (hMG) are effective ovulation induction agents in women with clomiphene resistant PCOS (about 20-30% of women with PCOS).
No advantage in routinely using GnRH analogues in conjunction with gonadotrophins in these women - no increase in pregnancy rate and their use may be associated with an increased risk of ovarian hyperstimulation.

• Risk of first trimester miscarriage is increased and this is not reduced by supression of LH hypersecretion
