Abstract
SummaryWe report the obstetric outcome of 33 pregnancies in 32 women treated with pulsatile luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) for various causes of anovulatory infertility. Of the 35 births, one twin, one triplet and 30 singleton births occurred. Preterm intervention was necessary during two pregnancies (one singleton and the triplet pregnancy) as a result of deteriorating hypertensive disease of pregnancy. The twin pregnancy delivered spontaneously at 36 weeks while all the other singleton pregnancies proceeded to term. Patients with a low pre-treatment body mass index [maternal weight in kg/ (height in metres)2] had lighter babies than those who embarked on treatment with a normal body mass index. The instrumental and operative delivery rates were 22 and 16 per cent, respectively. The male-female sex ratio (singleton pregnancies) was 0.55. There were no congenital abnormalities detected at birth.
