Long GnRH agonist1. Slightly better pregnancy rate2. More injections needed
ConclusionConclusion
GnRH antagonist regimens:1) Endogenous FSH during the early follicular phase less synchronization of the follicular cohort less mature oocytes2) Endogenous LH during the early follicular phase slight progesterone endometrial receptivity for the embryos
Ways to improve GnRH antagonist regimens: 1) GnRH antagonist starts from FSH D12) OCP pretreatment x 18-28 d 2 d FSH GnRH antagonist from FSH D5-6
