To identify why some women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO) fail to respond to clomiphene citrate (CC), the authors have monitored the endocrine and ovarian response to CC 100 mg/day given for 5 days. Of 40 cycles studied in 27 women, 73% were ovulatory. In 8 of 9 anovulatory women, there was no follicular development despite a significant rise in serum gonadotrophin concentrations within 3 to 5 days of starting CC. There were no significant differences between the ovulatory and anovulatory groups in the peak response of either luteinizing hormone (LH) or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The authors conclude that, in women with polycystic ovaries, the most common reason for the failure to ovulate is an absent ovarian response to an appropriate rise in serum FSH. |
