A combination of clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin was employed for enhanced follicular recruitment in an in vitro fertilization program. All patients received 50 mg of clomiphene and 1 ampule of human menopausal gonadotropin daily from cycle day 5 through cycle day 9. Follicular monitoring was begun on day 10 using a combination of ultrasound measurement of follicular size and number and determination of peripheral estradiol levels. Based on the size and number of follicles, the peripheral levels of estradiol, and the rate of follicular growth and increase in estradiol, human menopausal gonadotropin was continued at a dosage of 1 to 3 ampules/day through the day of human chorionic gonadotropin administration. Human chorionic gonadotropin was administered on the evening of the day the largest follicle reached or exceeded 20 mm in mean diameter if the estradiol levels had been rapidly rising or reaching a plateau and had exceeded a minimal level of 300 pg/ml. Using this protocol, 30 of 33 patients underwent laparoscopy, 29 patients had successful oocyte recovery, and 23 patients underwent embryo replacement, with the establishment of six clinical pregnancies.
