OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of tamoxifen administration with letrozole in the context of intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective double-blinded study included 130 patients. After randomization, 65 patients in group A received letrozole + tamoxifen and human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG), whereas 65 patients in group B received placebo instead of tamoxifen. In both groups, the parameters recorded were total number of follicles with ≥16 and 18 mm diameter, endometrial thickness and appearance, and total HMG administered. The results were compared between groups after single-stage IUI was performed.
RESULTS: Total dominant follicles in both groups were similar (mean number of follicles with diameter ≥16 and 18 mm was 1.5 ± 1.4 and 1.6 ± 1.1, respectively, in group A and 1.5 ± 1.1 and 1.6 ± 1, respectively, in group B; at the same time with less HMG usage in group A (255 ± 167 vs. 313 ± 174 IU), and higher pregnancy rate in group A (18.7 vs. 11.7 %); but none of them was statistically significant). Surprisingly, endometrial thickness was significantly higher in group A (7.7 ± 1.5 vs. 7 ± 1.3 mm; P value 0.008).
CONCLUSION: In addition to the efficacy of tamoxifen in co-administration with clomiphene citrate, it has promising effects with letrozole in induction of ovulation cycles with or without IUI.
