Results: A significant difference was observed in the percentage of women having mature follicles, ovulation induction rate and live birth rate. The ovulation induction rate, pregnancy rate and live birth rate of group C in comparison to group A was significant at p < 0.05 with odd ratio 4.57 (1.45-14.38), 3.59 (1.21-10.60) and 3.75 (1.24-11.40) respectively.
