Circulating Anti-mullerian Hormone as Predictor of Ovarian Response to Clomiphene Citrate in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is found in 5% to 6% of women of reproductive age. It affects women's reproductive capability; thus patients have risks of infertility, miscarriage, and complicated pregnancy. A study revealed that the prevalence of oligoovulation or anovulation in patients with PCOS ranged from 65% to 80%. Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is an important regulator in the ovary that play a rule during development and function. It is suspected to affect clomiphene citrate (cc) resistance. In this study the investigator will assess the accuracy of AMH prediction of response to cc in women with PCOS.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group A: CC & ovulation
AMH level is measured before Clomiphene citrate 100 mg daily for 5 days & detecting Follicular growth assessment by TVU will be performed at day 12 of the menstrual period. Successful and unsuccessful follicular growth will be compared according to the subjects' respective AMH levels.
100 mg daily will be provided to the subjects to be taken for 5 days starting from day 2 of their spontaneous periods
Other Names:
  • Clomide
Follicular growth assessment by TVU will be performed at day 12 of the menstrual period.
Experimental: Group B: CC & no ovulation
AMH level is measured before Clomiphene citrate 100 mg daily for 5 days & detecting Follicular growth assessment by TVU will be performed at day 12 of the menstrual period. Successful and unsuccessful follicular growth will be compared according to the subjects' respective AMH levels.
100 mg daily will be provided to the subjects to be taken for 5 days starting from day 2 of their spontaneous periods
Other Names:
  • Clomide
Follicular growth assessment by TVU will be performed at day 12 of the menstrual period.
