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: 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. objective: 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 clini...

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: 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: the differential efficacy between long gnrh agonist with antagonist can partly be due to the preexisting differences in the early antral follicles before ovarian stimulation. objective: to compare the effect of pretreatment by estradiol with gnrh antagonist on antral follicular size coordination and basal hormone levels in gnrh antagonist protocol. materials and methods: on cycle da...

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...

abstract the gnrh analogue (agonist and antagonist gnrh) changed ovarian stimulation. on the one hand, it improved chances of pregnancy to obtain more oocytes and better embryos. this leads to an ovarian hyper-response, which can be complicated by the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). on the other hand, the gnrh analogue can prevent the incidence of ohss: gnrh antagonist protocols, gnrh...

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 ...
