Success rates

The vast majority of women stimulated with injectable gonadotropins will ovulate, but not all will conceive. Most pregnancies occur in the first three to six treatment cycles.

A number of factors influence these pregnancy rates including:

• Age of the woman.
  
• Presence or absence of endometriosis or adhesions in the pelvis.
  
• Problems with tubal function.
  
• Abnormalities of the lining of the uterus where implantation should occur.
  
• Quality of the partner's sperm.

If you don’t become pregnant following ovulation induction with injectable gonadotropins, you may still be an excellent candidate and have success with some of the assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
