Abstract

Six patients with primary unexplained infertility of 2 to 9 years duration, and who failed to conceive after repeated trials of clomiphene treatment, were treated with human gonadotropins; 3 of them became pregnant following one or two courses of treatment. Three patients failed to conceive in spite of 3 courses of human gonadotropins, 2 of them had high titers of sperm-agglutinating antibodies found in their sera, which may explain their infertility. None of the 13 treatments resulted in hyperstimulation syndrome or multiple births. This preliminary result seems encouraging but awaits further study.
