GnRH antagonist-based protocols for in vitro fertilization. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • In this chapter we elaborate on the intricacies of employing GnRH antagonists for prevention of the endogenous luteinizing hormone surge during IVF. Several practical aspects of implementing a GnRH antagonist-based stimulation protocol are described; selection of the correct dose, choosing when to start the antagonist, programming of cycle starts, selection of the appropriate gonadotropins, and triggering of final oocyte maturation are elucidated.
