Excessive androgen secretion or activity is the primary endocrine disturbance, and aberrant insulin activity is seen in a large proportion of women. Aim and objectives: To contrast the efficacy of a prolonged letrozole treatment for treating clomiphene-resistant PCOS to that of a short letrozole therapy and a placebo. Subjects and methods: This prospective, interventional, research was done at Qena university hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology department.

Group(C): 40 patients took placebo, Placebo group. The research lasted anywhere from 6-12 months. Result: There is a significant distinction among the groups regarding endometrial thickness with hCG trigger injection. Ovulation incidence was substantially greater in group B contrasted with group A contrasted with group C. Pregnancy incidence was substantially higher in group B contrasted with group A contrasted with group C.
