What is clomipen failure ??



What is the difference between CC Resistance & CC failure:- By CC failure we mean that there is documented ovulation as evidenced 1) by serial follicular monitoring, or 2) home testing by LH kit or 3) by estimating  day 23 serum progesterone. And rarely Cervical mucus tests

  By contrast CC resistance means there is no ovulation inspite of timely ingestion  of CC/Letrozole  The common causes of CC resistance are difficult to establish but mostly growth factor related or genetic . Subtle endocrine disorders or environmental pollutants or endocrine disruptors may affect the growth of follicles or timely rupture in  response to harmonized release of FSH & LH .
By CC failure, therefore we mean the choice of the drug to induce ovulation was appropite but due to some other  factor/ factors(possibly extra ovarian )   conception didn’t occur in that cycle.. Such examples are are  1) Tubal block & tubal diseases 2) Pelvic  adhesive disease with altered tubo peritoneal relations 3)  Minimal endometriosis, 4) genital Koch’s hitherto undiagnosed and untreated. 5) Abnormal sperm morphology. However , the  uncommon causes of CC failure are 6) failure to comply with of timed intercourse as advised like  Erectile disorders/ absence of husband due  to unavoidable circumstances  7) Defective oogenesis –difficult to diag. This Defective oogenesis ( Inability to acquire competency of get fertilization) occurs in variety of causes but notably IGF disorders, Insulin resistance, Poor endometrial receptivity, Synechiae, polyps, cong abnormalities of uterus, & due possibly abnormal ovarian androgen biosynthesis 8)  PRL, disorder.
Take home meassage :- Causes of CC failure/ resistance:-has many causes which have to be assessed before embarking on another Ovulogen  oral/ parental. Examples of such tests are AFC, AMH, PRL, Metabolic disorders, high day 9 LH, PCOS of several phenotypes , dose of cc employed, . In case of CC failure it invites possibility of host of anatomical diseases in the form of minimal endometriosis, Tubo-peritoneal causes, uterine factors, BMI, Kochs, and coital factor too. as mentioned earlier .
