Luteinization to oocyte retrieval delay in women in whom multiple follicular growth was induced as part of an in vitro fertilization/gamete intrafallopian transfer program

Different luteinization-to-oocyte-retrieval delays were examined in 64 IVF/GIFT patients. Multiple follicular stimulation was induced with combined therapy of hMG and GnRH-a to create continuous pituitary suppression and thus eliminate endogenous gonadotropin fluctuations. The results demonstrated t...

Summary:Different luteinization-to-oocyte-retrieval delays were examined in 64 IVF/GIFT patients. Multiple follicular stimulation was induced with combined therapy of hMG and GnRH-a to create continuous pituitary suppression and thus eliminate endogenous gonadotropin fluctuations. The results demonstrated that with this induction regime, the time interval can be extended to 39 hours without preoperative ovulation and with improved oocyte maturity.
