The hypothalamic—pituitary axis of 22 hyperandrogenic infertile women had suppression with either the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-analogue buserelin (n = 12) or with an oestrogen—gestagen compound (Diane®; n = 12). This was followed by pulsatile GnRH application for inducing ovulation (Zyklomat®). In terms of ovulation and pregnancy rates the buserelin pre-treatment was more effective than the steroid pre-treatment, especially in hyperandrogenic non-polycystic ovaries (PCO).

Key words: buserelin/hyperandrogenism/PCO/pulsatile GnRH
