Ovulation induction is based on the administration of gonadotropins in order to enhance fertility. Daily administration of the drug causes a supra-physiological increase in serum FSH leading to the recruitment of a larger cohort of follicles, further causes their growth and development, and finally, triggering ovulation of usually more than one follicle. In IVF programs, the stimulation process...

Ovulation is a gonadotropin-controlled process that is essential for the propagation of all mammalian species. In the present study, we used a pregnant mare serum gonodotropin/human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-induced, synchronized ovulation model in rhesus monkeys and systematically investigated the roles of the plasminogen activator (PA) system in the ovulatory process of the primate. At dif...

Routinely, a bolus of 5.000-10.000 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is used for the final follicular maturation and ovulation as a standard method. HCG has the same effect of luteinizing hormone (LH) with long half-life. It has the long lutheotrophic effect which increases the risk of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS). Recently, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) trigg...

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...

Background: To explore possible predictors of severe late ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (SL-OHSS) in fresh embryo transfer cycles. Methods: We conducted a historical cohort study Chinese tertiary hospital from January 2017 to December 2019, with total 6931 women who had the first included. SL-OHSS was defined as symptoms OHSS occurring 12–17 days after ovulation triggering. Possible determi...
