About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Female Infertility Associated With Anovulation focused on measuring pco, Amlodipine

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - 35 Years (Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Demographic features including females in age of ≥20 & ≤35, and BMI of ≤39.
  • Infertility secondary to polycystic ovary , The choice of polycystic ovary patients will be according to the Rotterdam consensus workshop (Rotterdam, 2004), and the diagnosis of polycystic ovary by ultrasonography will be made according to Adams et al. criteria which are the most often cited (Adams et al., 1985).The Rotterdam criteria as follows:

    • Oligo- or anovulation.
    • Clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyper androgynism
    • The presence of polycystic ovaries on ultrasound scan. Ultrasound findings of enlarged ovaries with multiple small cysts (10-12 or more of 2-9 mm in diameter) scattered around the periphery and highly echogenic stroma

Exclusion Criteria:
