| Title | The effect of cetrorelix vs. ganirelix on pregnancy outcome using minimal gonadotropin stimulation in women with elevated day 3 serum follicle stimulating hormone levels. | | Author(s) | Check JH, Brasile D, Choe JK, Amui J, Wilson C | | Institution | The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Camden, Cooper Hospital/University Medical Center, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility, Camden, NJ, USA. laurie@ccivf.com | | Source | Clin Exp Obstet Gynecol 2009; 36(3):148-9. | | Abstract | PURPOSE: To determine if the choice of gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist influences subsequent pregnancy rates in women with diminished egg reserve.
METHOD: Retrospective determination of pregnancy rates following embryo transfer in women with day 3 FSH >12 mIU/ml using lower dose gonadotropin stimulation regimen.
RESULTS: Though no significant differences were found there was a trend for lower pregnancy rates with ganirelix vs cetrorelix.
CONCLUSIONS: The trend for lower pregnancy rates with ganirelix vs. cetrorelix seen in women with diminished egg reserve is consistent with the findings of a study performed in women with normal egg reserve using a normal gonadotropin stimulation regimen. It is not clear if the adverse effect is on the endometrium or the embryo. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
