Abstract | PURPOSE: To present various types of anovulatory states associated with normal estrogen and various treatment options. METHODS: RESULTS:
Clomiphene citrate seems equally effective to gonadotropins at least for the first three cycles but has a frequent complication of adversely affecting the cervical mucus so intrauterine insemination is frequently needed. Glucocorticoid therapy and insulin receptor drugs can exert a primary or more commonly an ancillary benefit when used in combination with other follicle maturing drugs. Complications, e.g., adverse cervical mucus, luteinized unruptured follicle ( LUF) syndrome, premature luteinization, luteal phase deficiency and treatment options are presented. CONCLUSIONS:
