  • Title: [Experiences with clomiphene therapy of endocrine sterility].
    Author: Starker W, Carol W, Möller R.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1978; 100(14):942-5. PubMed ID: 685577.
    Abstract:
    Two hundred seventy-three infertile women with disturbances of the menstrual cycle were treated with clomiphene citrate a level of 50 or 100 mg daily for 5 days, or even--in cases of therapeutic failure--of 150 or 200 mg daily. According to the experiences of other authors the results indicate that conception can be obtained in a rate between 35 and 40%. The frequent occurence of additional factors diminishing fertility, however, reduces this relatively favorable pregnancy rate to a level of 30% under the conditions of practice. Patients with ovulatory failures, secondary amenorrhoe associated with sufficient endogenic estrogen secretion, and luteal insufficiencies respond most favorably to clomiphene citrate. If the preovulatory cervical mucus reaction is missed, the additional application of an estrogen preparation, in cases of repeated luteal phase defects the combination of clomiphene with HCG is recommended.
