Results: The serum pregnancy test was positive in only (6,3%) group A who receive letrazole alone while shows (12.5%) in group B who took combined therapy with no significance in P value(0.39) so group B shows higher pregnancy rates, The six weeks pulsations shows higher percentages in group B (9.4%) in compare to Group A (3.1%) with P value of (0.3) , There is good significance in the number of follicles (with P value 0.006) with appearance of one follicle in group B was higher than group A (68.8% in group B versus 37.5% in group A) ,Also the appearance of 2 mature follicles happen only in group B (6.3%). the follicular size appeared significance with P value (<0.001) as group B ranges (20.21+_1.47) versus group A (17.17+-0.94 ), Endometrial thickness also show significance with P value (<0.001) with ranges (10.06+_1.6) in group B which has better ranges than group A (8.13+_1.79).
