Background: During in vitro fertilization (IVF), fertility patients are expected to self-administer many injections as part of this treatment. While newer medications have been developed to substantially reduce the number of these injections, such agents are typically much more expensive. Considering these differences in both cost and number of injections, this study compared patient preference...

Background To compare a flexible, multi-dose GnRH antagonist protocol with a long GnRH .agonist protocol in poor respo MaterialsAndMethods A randomized clinical trial of 70 poor responder patients (35 patients in GnRH antagonist protocol and 35 patients in long GnRH agonist protocol) was performed at Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran. Both groups were given a fixed dose of human menopausal gonadotr...

background: to compare a flexible, multi-dose gnrh antagonist protocol with a long gnrh .agonist protocol in poor respo materials and methods: a randomized clinical trial of 70 poor responder patients (35 patients in gnrh antagonist protocol and 35 patients in long gnrh agonist protocol) was performed at royan institute, tehran, iran. both groups were given a fixed dose of human menopausal gona...

Background: General concern is that the pregnancy rate is higher with GnRH-agonist as a protocol of pituitary suppression. GnRH-antagonist protocol provides a shorter period of administration and an easy flexible protocol. In this study, the outcomes of GnRH agonist and antagonist in ICSI cycles are compared in normo responder patients. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, ...

objective: coasting can reduce the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) risk in ovulation induction cycles before intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi). this study aimed to investigate the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh) agonist and gnrh antagonist protocols to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh) cycles with coasting on the parameters of icsi cycles and the outcome. ...

background: determination of oocyte fertilization and embryo quality are one of the most important purposes in art cycles. follicular fluid provides an important microenvironment for development of oocytes and some biochemical characteristics of the follicular fluid, such as pregnancy-associated plasma protein-a (papp-a), may play an important role in prediction of success rate of art. objectiv...

Background The optimal stimulation protocol for poor responder patients is a therapeutic challenge. GnRH antagonist protocol has been proposed as a potentially proper option for poor responders. Nevertheless, there is no significant difference in terms of clinical pregnancy and cancellation rates be tween the GnRH antagonist and agonist cycles. Therefore, this subset of patients might be the be...

objective: this study was conducted to compare the results of fixed versus flexible gnrh antagonist protocols in controlled ovarian stimulation for intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) in patients with pcos. materials and methods: a randomized clinical trial was performed on 100 pcos women, who were admitted to a tertiary infertility clinic and were candidate for ivf/icsi. they were divided...

BACKGROUND Since increased LH in the early follicular phase in PCOS patients especially in GnRH antagonist protocol could be associated with reduced oocyte quality and pregnancy and impared implantation. The current study was conducted to determine ART outcomes in GnRH antagonist protocol (flexible) and long GnRH agonist protocol and compare them with adding GnRH antagonist in GnRH antagonist (...

BACKGROUND To test if early-cleavage was a strong predictor of pregnancy in patients receiving either a GnRH agonist long protocol or a GnRH antagonist protocol for in-vitro fertilization treatment (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). METHODS This retrospective study included 534 patients undergoing a fresh cycle of oocyte retrieval and the day-3 embryo transfer (from 22 to 46 y...
