Thirty-five couples with long-term unexplained infertility were treated in 98 cycles by giving gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue, human menopausal gonadotropin and human chorionic gonadotropin for induction of superovulation. Pregnancy occurred in 24 cycles (24.5% per cycle and 68.6% per patient). All patients had been treated previously with clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin in 110 cycles in conjunction with artificial insemination, but failed to achieve pregnancy. Pituitary suppression with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue followed by ovarian stimulation with human menopausal gonadotropin may correct the subtle abnormalities at the hypothalamic hypophyseal level that could be present in cases of unexplained infertility and it should be tried first for these patients before resorting to in vitro fertilization or gamete intrafallopian transfer.
