A documented clomiphene-induced follicular development in pregnancy: Case report

Aref Sammour,1, Marinko Biljan1, Seang Lin Tan,1 and Togas Tulandi,1

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

A case of clomiphene-induced follicular growth in pregnancy is presented in a 34-year-old woman with ectopic pregnancy treated at a university teaching hospital. Following administration of clomiphene citrate in pregnancy, follicular growth to 18 mm mean diameter was noted. It is concluded that clomiphene citrate can induce follicular growth and maturation in pregnancy, possibly by reversing pregnancy-induced pituitary suppression.

Key words: clomiphene/follicle/pregnancy/superfetation
