superovulation improves developmental competency of oocytes and fertilitypotential in aged female mice," Fertility and Sterility, vol.
"Beginning treatment with immediate IVF, compared with initial treatments of
superovulation and IUI, results in [a] significantly higher number of live-born infants."
At 6-8 weeks of age, the female mice underwent
superovulation [equine chorionic gonadotropin followed by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), both at 5.0 IU in 0.1 mL saline; both from Calbiochem, Gibbstown, NJ] or
superovulation and mating as described previously (Jefferson et al.

BOX 12-1 Focus on Fertility: Synchronizing Estrus and Ovulation The ability to regulate timing of estrus and ovulation is essential for effective
superovulation and embryo transfer and also enhances effectiveness of artificial insemination.

The female partners underwent
superovulation using a standardised regimen and follow-up procedure.
The risks to women who provide eggs are associated primarily with the drugs used to induce
superovulation. Severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a rare but life-threatening event.
Beginning on the morning of days 13 of the estrous cycle (day 0=estrus), ewes received twice daily (morning and evening) intramuscular injections of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH; to induce
superovulation) as follows: Day 13, 5 units/injection; Day 14, 4 units/injection; and Day 15, 3 units/injection.
