Abstract
- In the present study, the changes observed in the length of the cycle, basal body temperatures, endometrial histology and plasma progesterone in a group of 18 patients with polycystic ovaries, treated with Clomiphene Citrate, is reported. Two distinctive responses were observed depending on the estradiol/testosterone mean concentration found. Regardless of the induction of ovulation, a clear change in the length of the cycle was observed. Progesterone concentration of 2.1-2.9 ng/ml gave a definite rise in BBT, but no endometrial secretory changes were found in parallel with that concentration. Progesterone concentration above 6.1 ng/ml did induce secretory changes in the endometrium.
