GnRH agonist triggering affects the kinetics of embryo development: a comparative study
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effects of an ovulation triggering agent, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), versus a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) on early embryo development in vitro using a time-lapse system. METHODS Retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database. A total of 739 embryos from 152 infertile couples undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles. INTERVENTIONS Embryo culture in a time-lapse incubator (EmbryoScope, Vitrolife, Göteborg, Sweden). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Embryo morphokinetic parameters. RESULTS In the 152 women, 252 embryos were derived from GnRHa-triggered cycles compared with 487 embryos derived from hCG-triggered cycles. Time-lapse analysis revealed that embryos from cycles triggered by a GnRHa cleaved faster than embryos derived from hCG-triggered cycles. CONCLUSION Triggering with a GnRHa in in vitro fertilization cycles affects embryo kinetics.

I-27: GnRH Agonist Triggering and Luteal Phase Support
Background GnRH agonist triggering is one of the strategies for ovulation triggering and final maturation of oocytes. So , should be notice for luteal phase support in these cycles. At the first it was began for prevention of severe OHSS but it was associated with luteal phase problem and lower pregnancy rate due to luteolysis effects of GnRH agonists. So, two other alternative strategies have ...
متن کاملP-219: Premature Progesterone Rise (PPR) At HCG Triggering Day Has No Correlation with ICSI Outcome: A Prospective Cohort Study
Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate the progesterone level (P Level) on the day of HCG triggering in GnRh agonist and antagonist protocols, and its correlation with clinical pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate. Premature luteinization during in vitro fertilization (IVF) was commonly happened before the introduction of GnRh analogues. High level of unwanted progesterone that i...
متن کاملGnRH agonist for triggering final oocyte maturation in the GnRH antagonist ovarian hyperstimulation protocol: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Triggering final oocyte maturation with GnRH agonist during ovarian stimulation is feasible when inhibition of premature LH surge is performed with GnRH antagonists, and we aimed to systematically collate evidence on the clinical efficacy of GnRH agonist triggering in patients undergoing assisted reproduction in GnRH antagonist protocols. Twenty-three publications were identified by a comprehen...
متن کاملGonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist for oocyte triggering in endometrial preparation of letrozole stimulation protocols does not affect clinical outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer.
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of GnRH agonist in comparison with hCG for triggering final oocyte maturation in endometrial preparation of letrozole stimulation protocols for frozen-thawed embryo transfer. METHODS The frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles (FET) that use the letrozole stimulation protocols for endometrial preparation were divided into two groups accordi...
متن کاملThe luteal phase after GnRH-agonist triggering of ovulation: present and future perspectives.
In stimulated IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles, the luteal phase is disrupted, necessitating luteal-phase supplementation. The most plausible reason behind this is the ovarian multifollicular development obtained after ovarian stimulation, resulting in supraphysiological steroid concentrations and consecutive inhibition of LH secretion by the pituitary via negative feedback at the le...
