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, ...

Background: Based on classical two cell- two-gonadotropin theory, in the follicle, FSH and LH put on their main effects on the granulosa and theca cells. LH is essential for androgens production. Androgens as precursor, is used for estradiol production by granulosa cells under aromatase activity. Profound suppression of LH concentrations in some normogonadotropic patients can cause several adve...

background: recently different studies suggested that discontinuation of gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue (gnrha) at beginning of ovarian stimulation (improvement of ovarian response to gonadotrophins) may have some benefit to poor responder patients in invitro fertilization (ivf) cycles. objective:the efficacy of gnrha stop protocol in poor responder patients in ivf cycles was assessed...

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...

objective: the objective of this study is to compare rates of pregnancy and ivf parameters in subjects who were stimulated with follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) plus either recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-lh) or human menopausal gonadotropins (hmg), in long gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) agonist ivf protocols. materials and methods: this is a cohort study of patients undergoin...

Objective The objective of this study is to compare rates of pregnancy and IVF parameters in subjects who were stimulated with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) plus either recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-LH) or human menopausal gonadotropins (hMG), in long gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist IVF protocols. MaterialsAndMethods This is a cohort study of patients undergoing IV...

Background: This study aims to verify if luteal estradiol pre-treatment improves IVF/ICSI outcomes in a GnRH antagonist protocol as compared to a micro dose GnRH agonist protocol in poor-responding patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 116 IVF/ICSI cycles were included in this prospective randomized clinical trial. The selected women were randomly assigned to receive an estradiol pre-trea...

OBJECTIVES Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder, primarily affecting women of the reproductive age. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical efficacy and embryo quality in flexible gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol in comparison to the long GnRH agonist protocol in PCOS women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
