GnRH antagonist, cetrorelix, for pituitary suppression in modern, patient-friendly assisted reproductive technology.

P-228: Low Dose HCG Adjunct to r-hFSH/GnRH Antagonist for Controlled Ovarian Stimulation in Assisted Reproductive Technology: A Prospective and Randomized Trial

Background: Deep suppression of LH in GnRH antagonist cycles may have detrimental effect on reproductive out come. It was hypnotized that adding LH activity via the administration of low dose HCG in late follicular phase shortened the duration of stimulation, decreased consumption of gonadotropin and increased estrogen levels. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of adding low dose HC...

I-26: The Role of Stimulating Agents and Protocols in Prevention of Severe OHSS

The goal of ovarian Stimulation for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is obtaining multifollicular growth ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most Severe and also potentially Life-threatening complications, which happens in 1-10% of IVF cycles. The most common risk factors which are related to OHSS are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), younger age, high preovulatory...

Microdose GnRH Agonist Flare-Up versus Ultrashort GnRH Agonist Combined with Fixed GnRH Antagonist in Poor Responders of Assisted Reproductive Techniques Cycles

Investigation of pregnancy outcome and ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome prevention in agonist and antagonist gonadotropin-releasing hormone protocol

BACKGROUND Given the controversies regarding the effectiveness of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists in prevention of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome stimulation, this study was designed to compare GnRH agonist protocol with GnRH antagonist protocol in patients who were candidate for assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS This investigation was perfor...

P-165: Results of Adding Recombinant LH in Normoresponder Patients for Assisted Reproductive Technology Treatment: A Prospective Randomized Control Trial

Background: Based on classical two cell- two-gonadotropin theory, in the follicle, FSH and LH put on their main effects on the granulosa and theca cells. LH is essential for androgens production. Androgens as precursor, is used for estradiol production by granulosa cells under aromatase activity. Profound suppression of LH concentrations in some normogonadotropic patients can cause several adve...
