Objective: To compare between luteal phase clomiphene citrate and second cycle day clomiphene citrate on the thickness of the endometrium and clinical pregnancy rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Methods: a prospective observational study conducted on 196 women with Polycystic ovary syndrome divided into two groups: Group 1 (98 patients) received 100mg of clomiphene citrate daily for 5 days starting on second cycle day and Group 2 (98 patients) received 100mg of clomiphene citrate daily starting in the luteal phase before onset of withdrawal bleeding for 5 days. Treatment and follow up applied for three cycles. Outcome measures were collected and analyzed and women who got pregnant were followed until 12 weeks of pregnancy. Results: no significant differences between the two groups regarding pre-ovulatory endometrial thickness (8.3mm in group 1vs 8.8mm in group 2), number of mature follicles (1.62 in group 1vs 1.57 in group 2) and mid-luteal serum progesterone levels(14.63ng/ml in group 1vs 14.9ng/ml in group 2). 34 women (35%) got pregnant in group 1 and 37 women (38%) in-group 2 and three patients had miscarriage in each group without any statistical significance. Conclusion: the present study does not support luteal clomiphene citrate over second cycle day clomiphene citrate to induce ovulation in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

INTRODUCTION: Most of the obese PCOS patients are resistant to clomiphene citrate standard doses. In these cases metabolic syndromes are treated by using insulin sensitizing drugs so that ovulation can be achieved.In this study rosiglitazine maleat was used in order to induce ovulation in obese clomiphene resistant PCOS patients. METHODS: 30 women(18-40 year old) with clomiphene resistant polycystic ovary syndrome that were obese (BMI>25 kg/m2) and hyperinsulinemic were seperated in two groups. In the first group (n=15) oral antidiabetic Rosiglitazone maleate( 4mg bid) which belongs to thiazolidinediones were used.In the second group(n=15) in addition to clomiphen citrate(50 bid)and Rosiglitazone maleate(4 mg bid) were used, ovulation and pregnancy rates were compared. In both groups ovulation and pregnancy were recorded, in the second group ovulation and pregnancy rates were higher than the first group but these rates were not significant. RESULTS: In group 1, ovulation was achieved in 5 patients (%33) and pregnancy was achieved in 1 patient (%7). In group 2, ovulation was achieved in 9 patients (%60) and pregnancy was achieved in 3 patients (%20).There was no statistical significance between two groups. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In our study in obese and hyperinsulinemic patients rosiglitazone maleat can induce ovulation and in addition to clomiphene citrate also ovulation can be achieved although it is statistical insignificant. As a result Rosiglitazone maleate can be used alternatively as an insulin sensitizer and ovulation induction agent.
