Abstract

Twenty infertile patients being treated with clomiphene citrate (CC) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for induction of ovulation, with a defective endometrial secretory pattern despite normal plasma levels of progesterone, estradiol, and prolactin, were entered into treatment plans on a random basis involving the following: CC-hCG plus dehydrogesterone (group 1), and CC-hCG (group 2). Success rates were similar in both groups (20% and 30%, respectively), based on a corrected endometrial defect during the second treated cycle. It is concluded that progestational agents are of low therapeutic value in endometrial luteal phase deficiency induced by CC.
