Evaluation of GnRH antagonist pre-treatment before ovarian stimulation in a delayed-start antagonist protocol in normal ovulatory women undergoing IVF/ICSI: a randomized controlled trial (RCT)
Abstract:Background: Synchronization of follicles is key to improving ovulation stimulation with the GnRH antagonist protocol. GnRH antagonist administration in the early follicular phase can quickly decrease gonadotrophin (Gn) levels and achieve downregulation before stimulation, which improves synchronization. A small RCT showed that pre-treatment with a GnRH antagonist for three days before stimulation might increase oocyte retrieval but cannot increase the pregnancy rate. This study investigated whether the "delaye… Show more
