New methods of ovulation induction have been discovered and perfected in recent years. Among others, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists are being used increasingly in the treatment of ovulatory infertility. In a prospective study, 24 women undergoing artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID) and facing failure of treatment because of ovulation disorders, were treated with human menopausal gonadotrophin/human chorionic gonadotrophin (HMG/HCG) superovulation with or without pituitary densensitization using a superactive luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist, buserelin (BUS), Suprefact (Hoechst, Frankfurt a/Main, FRG). In 86 cycles stimulated with HMG/HCG no pregnancy occurred, whereas 12 pregnancies occurred in the same group of patients after a total of 43 BUS/HMG/HCG stimulation cycles. Superactive LHRH agonists have a definite place in the treatment of AID patients presenting with refractory ovulation disorders and/or luteal insufficiency.
