Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To test whether adding small doses of HP urinary FSH to standard regimen of clomiphene citrate in clomiphene resistant PCOS well yield better results in terms of better ovulation rate,lower follicle number, less consumption of HP urinary FSH,lower treatment cost , better pregnancy rate, lower multiple pregnancy rates compared with the exclusive use of HP urinary FSH in these cases.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To test whether CC co- treatment with chronic low dose HP uFSH vs chronic low dose HP uFSH in CC resistant PCOS will yield better results in terms of ,ovulation rate, lower follicle number,lower HP uFSH dose ,better outcome in terms of pregnancy rates, better cost-effectiveness ratio, lower multiple pregnancy rates,lower cycle cancellation.
