Samenvatting
Infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to bring pregnancy to term after a year of unprotected sexual intercourse. According to the WHO, 8–10% of couples experience infertility. This book overviews the development, structure, and mode of action of treatments for ovulation induction (OI) and controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) for assisted reproductive techniques (ART). For more than 30 years, human menopausal gonadotropins (HMG) have been applied in the treatment of human infertility; clinical implications include ovulation induction in clomiphene-resistant anovulatory women and ovarian stimulation in assisted reproduction techniques.
