The authors have undertaken a prospective, randomized clinical trial of six treatments to optimize folliculogenesis in patients prior to oocyte collection, in vitro fertilization, and embryo transfer. All treatments involved the administration of the same daily dose of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), but at different times during the antecedent and/or current menstrual cycle. There was a significant difference (P less than 0.01, chi-square test) between treatments in the clinical pregnancy rate/patient (19 clinical pregnancies, 67 patients). No advantages were observed for regimens that involved starting treatment during the antecedent cycle. The study was continued with the three treatments that started during the current cycle (24 clinical pregnancies, 58 patients). The most cost-effective regimen was clomiphene citrate, 100 mg/day for days 2 to 6 inclusive; FSH, 150 units/day for days 1 to 4 inclusive; and human menopausal gonadotropin, 150 units/day from day 5 until the day of human chorionic gonadotropin administration.
