SUCCESSFUL INDUCTION OF OVULATION AND COMPLETED PREGNANCY USING RECOMBINANT HUMAN LUTEINIZING-HORMONE AND FOLLICLE-STIMULATING-HORMONE IN AWOMAN WITH KALLMANNS-SYNDROME

The induction of ovulation in women with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadis m requires follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) for follicular growth an d both FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) to induce optimal follicular s teroidogenesis, The development of human recombinant FSH and LH means that individually tailored doses of both hormones can be used with the aim of inducing unifollicular ovulation. This report describes the us e of recombinant human FSH and LH for the induction of ovulation and c onception in the second cycle of treatment, and subsequently a success fully completed pregnancy in a woman with Kallmann's syndrome.
