NCT02377479

Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to measure serial hormonal levels in patients undergoing clomiphene, letrozole, and a combination clomiphene and letrozole cycle. This information may help us to optimize less expensive medications for ovulation induction, reduce the number of treatment cycles to achieve a successful pregnancy, and use a medication regimen that may result in fewer multiple gestation pregnancies.
