Abstract

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.
