A method for the treatment of infertility is described involving recruitment of more than one oocyte by a unique and hitherto undescribed combination of goandotropins, the harvest of these oocytes prior to their spontaneous ovulation and their fertilization by exposure to sperm in vitro so that the resulting concepti can be transferred to the uteri of the donors and so overcome several forms of infertility.

Method of in vitro fertilization by a unique combination of gonadotropins

A method of in vitro fertilization therapy, which includes means for inducing ovulation by administering an exogenous human menopausal gonadotropin preparation and human chorionic gonadotropin, harvesting the mature follicles, combining the ovum with spermatazoa in vitro and transferring the conceptus into the uterus is improved by employing FSH as the exogenous human menopausal gonadotropin in the absence of exogenous LH.
