Objectives: Characteristics of cervical mucus during monofollicular stimulation of ovulation by clomiphene citrate and by clomiphene citrate with HMG was evaluated.
Materials and methods: 226 women of couples treated for male factor infertility or idiopathic infertility were studied. Favourable parameters of cervical mucus in women treated by clomiphene citrate with HMG were found although they were worse than observed in spontaneous ovulatory cycle.
Results and conclusions: The E2/follicle index was used for evaluating efficiency of stimulation. It was the highest during cycles were CC and HMG were used, although they did not reflect the risk of hyperstimulation. Authors discuss the importance of their findings in cases when techniques of ART can not be applied.
