Background: About 10-12% of couples are unable to conceive by natural means despite concerted efforts and these figures have risen in past few decades. In recent years, effect of oxidative stress on the fertility has been widely recognised. Oxidative stress has been known to affect both male and female fertility reducing sperm count and motility in men, and affecting ovum reserve and quality in women. Melatonin is the secretion of the pineal gland responsible for circadian sleep rhythm has also shown to be good antioxidant. Aim and objective of current study was to study effect of melatonin addition to clomiphene citrate for induction of ovulation with a view to improve conception rates.Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 52 women with infertility who were given clomiphene citrate with melatonin. Ovulation, conception rates and pregnancy outcomes were noted.Results: We observed 77.8%ovulation rates, and a significantly better conception and live birth rates.Conclusions: Melatonin, as an anti-oxidant may improve, conception and live birth rates when added to clomiphene citrate induction protocols.

Anovulatory Infertility

With the introduction of bilateral ovarian wedge resection (BOWR) in 1935, Stein and Leventhal were the first to describe an effective treatment for the chronic anovulation and associated infertility resulting from what was later to become known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Since that time, many less invasive methods of ovulation induction and enhancement have been developed. While the success of medical ovulation induction led to the almost complete replacement of BOWR by the late 1970's, the presence of a group of women who are not optimally treated by medical methods has maintained the interest in surgical approaches. Surgical and nonsurgical methods of treatment for anovulatory women have continued to be refined. This manuscript reviews this literature and attempts to provide a framework for the role that modern surgical methods of ovulation induction might play in the current scheme of treatment for anovulatory infertility in women with PCOS.
