Early Follicular Phase Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Addition May Improve the Outcomes of In Vitro Fertilization/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection in Patients With “Unpredictable” Poor Response to Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist Protocol
Abstract:PurposeTo compare the effects of early and mid-late follicular phase administration of 150 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol in “unpredictable” poor ovarian response (POR) women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment.MethodsA retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on 67 patients with “unpredictable” POR in their first IVF/ICSI cycle receiving GnRH antagonist protocol. Patients we… Show more
