No egg release from ovary-leading to childlessness- how to investigate and treat to achieve fertility


A) Simple ovulation induction: By clomiphene / letrozole or rearly TMX (Tamoxifene- an anticancer drugs for barest cancer at low dose of 20 mg or 40 mg on dely basis for 5 days per cycle. But the fact remains one has to monitor the cycle by TVS on day nine, then according to the size of the follicle another at least 2 or 3 such TVS is mandatory. Because it is no point giving any of the three drugs maintained above for month toughte4r remaining blind about the efficacy of the drugs in inducing ovulation.

This procedure is relatively simple and poses little effort on the part of doctor and acceptable for subfertile coupe as it warrant minimum visits to clinics. Further, it is a purely noninvasive in nature as OPPOSED TO IUI OR ivf .However the agent most commonly employed to induce ovulation is clomiphene citrate. Occasionally 1) anstatrozole (letrozole) group of drugs are used   and 2) more rarely Tamoxifen is used mainly in cases where there is persistent thin endo in CC cycle as an alternative to hMG cycle (Cost saving approach)...

C) Superovulation: which is a common protocol in IUI procedures?  Different from stimulation of multiple follicle development in ovulatory women, as is done with assisted reproductive techniques.
