摘要
Objective: To assess the effect of altering the timing of hCG administration on ongoing pregnancy rates in patients stimulated with recombinant FSH (rec-FSH) and GnRH antagonists for IVF. Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patient(s): Four hundred thirteen patients undergoing IVF. Intervention(s): Rec-FSH stimulation starting on day 2 of the cycle combined with daily GnRH antagonist starting on day 6 of stimulation. Patients were randomized to receive 10,000 IU of hCG either as soon as at least three follicles were 17 mm on ultrasound (early-hCG group, 208 patients) or 2 days later after this criterion was met (late-hCG group, 205 patients). Main Outcome Measure(s): Ongoing pregnancy rate. Result(s): Fertilization rates and number and quality of embryos transferred did not differ between the two groups. However, a significantly lower ongoing pregnancy rate was present in the late-hCG as compared with the early-hCG group (25.0% vs. 35.6%, respectively). Conclusion(s): Prolongation of the follicular phase in patients stimulated with rec-FSH and GnRH antagonists for IVF does not affect oocyte or embryo quality but is associated with a significantly lower ongoing pregnancy rate.
