Summary
Ovulation trigger is needed in in vitro fertilization (IVF) to get mature eggs. Routinely,
human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is used for that purpose given its similarity to the
natural hormone that does this job in a natural cycle (luteinizing hormone, LH). In a natural
cycle another hormone takes part in the process (follicle stimulating hormone, FSH). To
induce a natural-like ovulation surge that includes LH and FSH , gonadotropin releasing
hormone (GnRH) agonist can be given.
The purpose of this study is to find out which approach may work better in IVF patients who
experienced 4 IVF failures.
