Abstract

The study was performed in 116 pregnant women after ovulation induction in 1995-1999. The pregnancy outcome was analysed. In 92 of 116 women (79.3%) successful outcome ("home taken baby") was observed. In 56 of them (60.9%) spontaneous delivery took place, in 4 (4.3%) women birth with vacuum extractor was performed, and in 32 (34.8%) caesarean section was done. In 24 of 116 women (20.7%) the pregnancy outcome was unsuccessful. In 12 of them (10.3%) missed abortion, and in 7 women (6%) spontaneous abortion was observed. 2 patients (1.7%) had caesarean section (in 24th and in 29th week of gestation) because of preeclampsia. One birth (0.9%) was premature because of the cervical incompetency.

Conclusions: The pregnancy outcome in women after ovulation induction is frequently (20.7%) unsuccessful. The delivery in patients after ovulation induction frequently (34.8%) takes place with caesarean section.
