Aromatase inhibition improves ovarian response to follicle-stimulating hormone in poor responders
Open accessAbstract
Objective To examine the use of the aromatase inhibitor letrozole with FSH for ovarian stimulation in poor responders undergoing ovarian superovulation and IUI.Design Observational cohort study as a prospective clinical trial in patients with unexplained infertility and a low response to ovarian stimulation with FSH.Setting Two tertiary referral infertility clinics associated with the Reproductive Sciences Division, University of Toronto.Patient(s) Twelve patients with unexplained infertility undergoing IUI who received FSH alone in 25 prior cycles with poor response (less than three dominant follicles).Intervention(s) Patients were offered letrozole, 2.5 mg/day from day 3-7 of the menstrual cycle with FSH (50-225 IU/day) starting on day 5-7. hCG (10,000 IU) was given when two leading follicles were >/=2 cm followed by IUI.Main outcome measure(s) Number of mature follicles (>1.8 cm), FSH dose, endometrial thickness, and pregnancy rate.Result(s) Improved response to FSH stimulation with letrozole co-treatment was evidenced by the significantly lower FSH dose associated with significantly higher number of mature follicles. During letrozole plus FSH stimulation cycles, clinical pregnancy was achieved in three cycles (21%).Conclusion(s) In this preliminary report, we demonstrate a potential benefit of aromatase inhibition for improving ovarian response to FSH in poor responders.

TL;DR
In 12 poor responders with unexplained infertility, adding letrozole to FSH improved ovarian response compared with prior FSH-only cycles. Letrozole plus FSH produced more mature follicles, required less FSH, and yielded three clinical pregnancies (21%), with no pregnancies in FSH-only cycles.
Key findings
- Letrozole plus FSH cycles had significantly more mature follicles (>1.8 cm) than FSH-only cycles: 3.3 ± 1.8 vs 1.9 ± 0.6 (P = .003).
- Total FSH per cycle was significantly lower with letrozole plus FSH: 616 ± 454 IU vs 1590 ± 708 IU (P = .0001), and stimulation days were fewer: 6.57 ± 1.95 vs 9 ± 3.42 (P = .026).
- E2 per mature follicle on hCG day was significantly lower with letrozole plus FSH: 626 ± 302 pmol/L vs 1324 ± 485 pmol/L (P = .0001), while E2 on hCG day, endometrial thickness, and LH on hCG day were not significantly different.
- No pregnancies occurred in FSH-only cycles; during letrozole plus FSH cycles, four patients achieved pregnancy, including three clinical pregnancies (21%) and one chemical pregnancy.
Methods
- Observational cohort study conducted as a prospective clinical trial in 12 patients with unexplained infertility and poor response to FSH in at least two prior cycles, defined as fewer than three follicles >1.8 cm on the day of LH surge or hCG administration.
- Patients received FSH alone in 25 prior cycles and letrozole 2.5 mg/day from day 3–7 plus FSH 50–225 IU/day in 14 cycles; hCG 10,000 IU was given when two leading follicles reached >2 cm, followed by IUI.
- Outcomes were compared between 20 completed FSH-only cycles (excluding canceled cycles) and 14 letrozole plus FSH cycles using t-tests with GraphPad Prism Version 3.
Limitations
- The paper states this preliminary report includes a small number of patients and used a nonrandomized, nonplacebo-controlled design.
- The paper states that possible effects of a short course of letrozole on pregnancy outcome are unknown and should be addressed in counseling and pregnancy follow-up.
- The text makes evident that the comparison relies on prior FSH-only cycles rather than concurrent randomized controls, and that five canceled FSH-only cycles were excluded from the outcome comparison.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
