STUDY TITLE

LOCI - Letrozole Or Clomifene for Ovulation Induction - Link here for more information if you are interested in taking part

What is this study about?

This is a study about helping women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or fewer than eight periods a year, to get pregnant. The purpose of this study is to test which drugs are best.

In order for you to conceive naturally, an egg will need to be released from your ovary. For women with PCOS, this does not always happen, and therefore we need to give medicines to help your body release an egg.

There are two drugs we can give to help you release an egg; one called clomifene and another called letrozole. There is another drug called metformin that we can also give you at the same time as these other drugs, but we are not sure if this carries any additional benefit. Overall, we are not sure which drugs are best for ovulation induction and a successful pregnancy outcome.

Who can take part?

People with PCOS or who have less than eight periods a year.
