The Luteal Phase after GnRHa Trigger-Understanding An Enigma

The luteal phase of all stimulated in vitro fertilization/intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles is disrupted, which makes luteal phase support (LPS) mandatory. The cause of the disruption is thought to be the multifollicular development achieved during ovarian stimulation which results in supraphysiological concentrations of steroids se- creted by a high number of corpora lutea du...

I-25: GnRHa Trigger State of the ART -Towards the OHSS Free Clinic

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has been used as a surrogate for the mid-cycle LH surge for several decades. Due to structural and biological similarities with LH, hCG binds to and activates the same receptor - the LH/hCG receptor. However, despite the fact that hCG effectively secures final oocyte maturation and ovulation, its use as a surrogate for LH has got several drawbacks - first and ...

Predicting successful induction of oocyte maturation after gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) trigger.

STUDY QUESTION Are there factors predicting the number of total and mature oocytes retrieved after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) utilizing a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol and a GnRH agonist (GnRHa) to induce oocyte maturation? SUMMARY ANSWER Peak estradiol (E₂) level, post-trigger LH and progesterone and the magnitude of LH rise are independent predicto...

GnRHa to trigger final oocyte maturation: a time to reconsider.

Recently GnRH antagonist protocols for the prevention of a premature LH surge were introduced, allowing final oocyte maturation to be triggered with a single bolus of a GnRH agonist (GnRHa). GnRHa is as effective as hCG for the induction of ovulation, and apart from the LH surge a FSH surge is also induced. Until recently, prospective randomized studies reported a poor clinical outcome when GnR...

Impact of GnRH agonist triggering and intensive luteal steroid support on live-birth rates and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: a retrospective cohort study

BACKGROUND Conventional luteal support packages are inadequate to facilitate a fresh transfer after GnRH agonist (GnRHa) trigger in patients at high risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). By providing intensive luteal-phase support with oestradiol and progesterone satisfactory implantation rates can be sustained. The objective of this study was to assess the live-birth rat...
