Ovulation under bromocriptine was studied in 14 women with normoprolactinemic amenorrhea (5 primary, 9 secondary), unresponsive to clomiphene citrate (CC). On bromocriptine alone, ovulation occurred in 4 (28.6%). In the same subjects, bromocriptine was subsequently associated with CC. Seven patients ovulated (50.0%), including 3 that had responded to bromocriptine alone. Ovulation occurred once or twice in 6 of the 9 cases of secondary amenorrhea (66.6%). In several occasions, when ovulation induction failed, luteinized unruptured follicles were found under ultrasonographic monitoring. Four patients who had a negative response to progestin challenge did not ovulate with the treatment. Women with plasma prolactin in the upper normal range had a greater probability of achieving ovulation induction.
