OBJECTIVE To investigate the follicle development and pregnancy in clomiphene citrate-resistant patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after transvaginal follicular aspiration and gonadotropin administration. METHODS Seventeen clomiphene citrate-resistant patients with PCOS failed to gonadotropin treatment associated with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). They are anovulatory infertility with normal tubal and husbands' sperm condition. In this treatment regimen, all patients was administered with gonadotropin from day 5 of menstrual cycle (or withdrawal bleeding) and were asked to undergo ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicular aspirations for 5 days later. Only one or two follicles for every ovary were remained and gonadotropin administration was continued. A follicle development, ovulation rate, pregnancy rate and sex hormone were monitored. RESULTS Fifteen of the 17 patients experienced dominant follicles development and ovulation. 9 of them with one (52.9%), 4 with two (23.5%) and 2 with three (11.8%) dominant follicles ovulated and pregnancy occurred in 7 patients (41.2%). All of pregnancy are singleton. CONCLUSIONS A single follicle development and singleton pregnancy can be realized in clomiphene citrate-resistant PCOS patients by combined ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicular asperation with gonadotropin administration.

D005498 Follicular Phase The period of the MENSTRUAL CYCLE representing follicular growth, increase in ovarian estrogen (ESTROGENS) production, and epithelial proliferation of the ENDOMETRIUM.

D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.
