TREATMENT: Lifestyle4

TREATMENT: Fertile Window4
Intercourse frequency optimal at 1-2
day, worst at >10 days.
Fertile Window: 6 days before and up to
ovulation
Ovulation prediction: LH surge kits,
slippery cervical mucous, basal body
temperature

TREATMENT: Ovulation Induction
Used for patients with ovulatory dysfunction (after treatment of
hypothalamic/pituitary disease) or unexplained fertility
Clomiphene Citrate (CC) or letrozole with timed intercourse or IUI5
day 3 through 7 of cycle5
SE: “multiple gestation, occasional headaches, depression, mood swings, ovarian cysts,
pelvic discomfort and blurred vision”5
Letrozole black box warning for birth defects
Insulin-sensitizing: Metformin5
SE: “GI upset, lactic acidosis, liver dysfunction”5
Can also combine with CC for increased ovulation induction5

TREATMENT: Uterine Factors
Myomas
Unless submucosal, unlikely the primary cause7
Can impact fertility if large & interfere with cavity7
Medical treatment does not improve infertility7
Uterine polyps- remove under direct visualization
Uterine septum- refer

Treatment: Peritoneal Factors
Endometriosis:
Oral contraceptives and GnRH agonist are ineffective8
Surgical management on stage I & II helps but NNT=12-408
Endometrioma: excision (%60.9 pregnancy rate) superior to
drainage alone (%23.4 pregnancy)8
Avoid repetitive surgery8

TREATMENT: Unexplained9
Accounts for up to 30%
Fecundity ranges from 1.8 to 3.8%
Early referral is key
IUI preferred for unexplained infertility5
Ok to try 3 rounds of clomiphene citrate or letrozole
