Ovarian Defects

Post by Angelas25 »

If a patient is infertile because of an ovarian defect but still has normal, open Fallopian tubes, why would you not suggest simply treating the patient with the FSH/HMG combination then allowing fertilization to occur naturally, instead of performing in vitro fertilization?

I don't know what you mean by an "ovarian defect" but if it is an ovulation problem that's usually what we would do first.
