Outcomes of Ovulation Induction Aimed to Pregnancy in Eight Hypopituitarism Patients

Female sex hormones work in concert. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and ovulation-inducing agents are required in female patients with infertility owing to hormone dysregulation. Although drug-induced follicular development can be expected in patients with endogenous female hormone deficiency, data are lacking on the protocols and drugs used.
