It is applicable to specialists, primary care, and providers at all levels. is Guideline should not be considered exclusive of other methods of care reasonably directed at obtaining the same results. e ultimate judgment concerning the propriety of any course of conduct must be made by the clinician aer consideration of each individual patient situation.

ESFHA1772 Î In patients with FHA wishing to conceive, after a complete fertility workup ES suggests: • treatment with pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) as a first line, followed by gonadatropin therapy and induction of ovulation when GnRH is not available (2|⊕ ); • cautious use of gonadotropin therapy (2|⊕ ); • a trial of treatment with clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction if a woman has a sufficient endogenous estrogen level (2|⊕ ); • against the use of kisspeptin and leptin for treating infertility (2|⊕ ); and • given that there is only a single, small study suggesting efficacy but minimal potential for harm, clinicians can consider a trial of CBT in women with FHA who wish to conceive, since this treatment has the potential to restore ovulatory cycles and fertility without the need for medical intervention. (2|⊕⊕ ) Î ES suggests that clinicians should induce ovulation only in women with FHA that have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 18.5 kg/m 2 and only after attempts to normalize energy balance, due to the increased risk for fetal loss, small-for-gestational-age babies, preterm labor, and delivery by Cesarean section for extreme low weight.
