Abstract

Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation was given to a study group consisting of male factor, endometriosis, and unexplained infertility. The aim of the study was to determine whether COH might be of value for such couples in a setting lacking ART facilities. When compared with their own spontaneous cycles or with a control group (untreated but scanned), COH proved significantly better for unexplained infertility. However, COH was not significantly effective for male factor infertility. This study shows that COH should be offered routinely in general hospitals to couples on long-term waiting lists for ART (especially those facing enforced expectant management).
