Definition
Most coneption happens two days to zero days from ovulation
Term
How do clomiphene and metformin induce ovulation and which is better?
Definition
Clomid is ag/antag for estrogen recotpter and causes depletion then induces FSH/LH via hypothal, Metformin increases glucose sensitivity and downs androgens so ups FSH/LH; combo is best for ovulation not live births, CC better met
Term
T or f, IVF using ART has increasing use for all fertility probs, higher success in women under 40, and works best with donor eggs not patient eggs as age increases.
