Summary. Until recently induction of ovulation in patients resistant to clomiphene has required gonadotrophin therapy. This has entailed intensive biochemical monitoring to ascertain the correct dosage and to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation. Described here is a simple, safe effective method of ovulation induction, using pulsed luteinizing hormone releasing hormone and requiring only minimal, readily available monitoring methods.
