Future prospects

Abstract

In the last two decades, major improvements in ovulation induction protocols and techniques, including assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) have been achieved, leading to a steady rise in pregnancy rates as demonstrated by national statistics worldwide. Anovulatory infertility, particularly the type due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), represents one of the major factors responsible for the increasing resort to ovulation induction techniques worldwide (1). Because the increasing age of individuals with infertility problems represents a major concern, practitioners, gynecologists, and other specialists are faced with a rise in direct or indirect questions and problems about ovulation induction techniques.
