In this paper, the usage, characteristics, and typical psychological consequences of the four most commonly utilized reproductive agents, clomiphene citrate, human menopausal gonadotropin, danazol, and GnRH analogs, are discussed. Physical consequences such as excessive facial hair growth, pelvic pain and menopausal-like symptoms are also addressed where relevant. Recommendations are made for therapists working with infertile women.
