Effect of GnRH Agonist vs GnRH Antagonist on IVF/ICSI Outcomes.
Non-randomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
The aim of this prospective, non-randomised, open-label, clinical trial is to compare the effects of two pituitary suppression regimens; GnRH Agonist-Long Protocol and GnRH Antagonist-Flexible Protocol on clinical and embryological IVF/ICSI outcomes, and on the follicular fluid levels of Placental Growth Factor (PlGF); which is known for his pivotal role in the regulation of ovulation, embryo development, and implantation.
