Addition of GnRH antagonist in cycles of poor responders undergoing IVF

Comparisons of GnRH antagonist versus GnRH agonist protocol in poor ovarian responders undergoing IVF.

BACKGROUND In view of the discrepancies about the GnRH antagonist (GnRH-ant) ovarian stimulation protocols having some potential advantages compared with the GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) protocols in poor ovarian responders IVF/ICSI, a meta-analysis of the published data was performed to compare the efficacy of GnRH-ant versus GnRH-a protocols for ovarian stimulation in IVF poor response patients. M...

GnRH antagonist multiple dose protocol with oral contraceptive pill pretreatment in poor responders undergoing IVF/ICSI

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of GnRH antagonist multiple-dose protocol (MDP) with oral contraceptive pill (OCP) pretreatment in poor responders undergoing IVF/ICSI, compared with GnRH antagonist MDP without OCP pretreatment and GnRH agonist low-dose long protocol (LP). METHODS A total of 120 poor responders were randomized into three groups according to controlled ovarian stimul...

Letrozole+ GnRH antagonist stimulation protocol in poor ovarian responders undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles: An RCT

BACKGROUND Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol has been proposed as a potentially proper option for the patients with limited ovarian reserve. Nevertheless, there is no significant difference in terms of clinical pregnancy between the GnRH antagonist and agonist cycles. The use of aromatase inhibitors such as letrozole was suggested by some studies. OBJECTIVE The object ...

Microdose GnRH Agonist Flare-Up versus Ultrashort GnRH Agonist Combined with Fixed GnRH Antagonist in Poor Responders of Assisted Reproductive Techniques Cycles

a comparative study of gnrh antagonist and gnrh agonist in pco patients undergoing ivf/icsi cycles

background: polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) patients are prone to premature lh surge and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). long gnrh analogue protocol and gnrh antagonist protocol are two methods utilized for induction ovulation in patients undergoing ivf/icsi. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of gnrh agonists and antagonists in pcos patients. materials and...
