Int J Gynaecol Obstet. 1991 Aug;35(4):327-30. doi: 10.1016/0020-7292(91)90666-s.

Abstract

The role of multiple ovulation with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) in the treatment of unexplained infertility is evaluated. Of a total 73 patients with unexplained infertility, 39 received four cycles of HMG, whereas, 34 were left untreated. Eight (20.5%) women conceived during HMG treatment, in comparison to only 1 (2.9%) in the control group (P less than 0.05). This study gives further credit to the value of HMG treatment for unexplained infertility.
