Highly purified HMG versus recombinant FSH for ovarian stimulation in IVF cycles.

A Comparison of Outcomes from IVF Cycles Stimulated with either Recombinant Luteinizing Hormone or Human Menopausal Gonadotropins in Subjects Treated with Long Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Agonist Protocols, a Retrospective Analysis.

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...

Highly purified hMG versus recombinant FSH in ovarian hyperstimulation with GnRH antagonists--a randomized study.

BACKGROUND Highly purified hMG (hp-hMG) has recently shown better cycle outcome than the recombinant FSH (rFSH) when compared in GnRH agonist long protocol cycles. However, they have not yet been compared in GnRH antagonist cycles. METHODS A RCT comparing the ongoing pregnancy rate (primary end-point) in 280 patients undergoing IVF/ICSI after stimulation with hp-hMG or rFSH controlled with a ...

Recombinant versus urinary gonadotrophin for ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technology cycles. A Cochrane review.

BACKGROUND Several systematic reviews compared recombinant gonadotrophin with urinary gonadotrophins (HMG, purified FSH, highly purified FSH) for ovarian hyperstimulation in IVF and ICSI cycles and these reported conflicting results. Each of these reviews used different inclusion and exclusion criteria for trials. Our aim in producing this review is to bring together all randomised studies in t...

I-27: Management of Poor Responders:Current and Past Recommended Strategy

The management of poor responders in IVF cycles is extremely controversial due to their inadequate response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.. A low ovarian response may be idiopathic or may be associated with many different factors including age, diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis and prior ovarian surgery, and a reported incidence 9-24% of IVF patients. Several strategies have be...
