Despite that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist pretreatment has been widely used before programmed frozen-thawed transfer (FET), its impact on live birth rates in ovulatory women remains uncertain. In the present study, we aim to determine if GnRH agonists pretreatment before FET improve...
