Use of GnRH Agonist Alone for Luteal Phase Support in Fresh IVF Cycles Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Pregnancy Rates After Luteal Phase Support With GnRH Agonist Versus Progesterone - a Prospective Randomized Study
Objective To assess the the efficacy of luteal support with GnRH agonist in patients undergoing IVF in antagonist-based hcg triggered cycles compared with standard luteal support with progesterone. Design prospective randomized controled study Subjects Patients who underwent antagonist-based cycles performed in the "Shaare Zedek Medical Center" IVF clinic between 2020 and 2022 Intervention Intranasal GnRH-agonist or vaginal Progesterone for luteal support. Main outcome measures Pregnancy and clinical pregnancy rates, ohss. The study cohort included 150 patients who underwent 164 cycles. A total of 127 cycles were included. Of them, 64 were treated with GnRH-a and 63 with progesterone. Hypothesis: This RCT suggests that GnRH-a for luteal phase support is associated with a higher positive β-hCG pregnancy rate and clinical pregnancy rate, compared with standard progesterone support in an antagonist-based protocol triggered with hCG, while maintaining a similar safety profile.
