In fact, during assisted reproductive treatments (ART) clomiphene citrate and letrozole are frequently administered in order to achieve ovulation.

On this scenario, we performed a review of the literature searching for LUFS recurrency and its impact in infertility and ART. An inflammation theory has been proposed that can be fuel for further therapeutic possibilities. In particular, considering the increase in granulocytes accumulation, the granulocyte colony-…
