[Simulation of ovulation using two types of LH-RH agonists].

Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) agonists are being increasingly used in ovulation stimulation protocols in IVF programs. The results of two methods of utilization of LH-RH agonists are compared. There was difference in the ovarian response on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) higher in the short protocol (69% vs 56%, P less than 0.001). The ongoing pregnancy rate per treatment cycle was similar in both groups (18% in the long protocol and 16% in the short protocol).
