The female reproductive system consists of the hypothalamic-pituitary unit, the ovaries, and the reproductive tract. Abnormalities in the physiologic function of the ovary affect the development of oocytes and potential fertility. Much of female infertility care involves pharmacologic treatment; the drug classes vary, but all center on manipulation of the physiologic hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. An understanding of the drug classes and their mechanisms of action is essential to providing quality fertility care. This book provides a comprehensive review of the agents used for ovulation induction, the appropriate indications and use of these drugs, as well as controlled ovarian stimulation for IVF. I hope this book will enhance your knowledge of the pharmacologic agents and protocols used for treating female infertility, and that you will be able to apply this information to your practice.
