In a nutshell This study examined the timing of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. Authors concluded that a modified early GnRH protocol achieves similar outcomes to the GnRH agonist protocol with a shorter overall treatment duration. Some background IVF is a complex process which...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This trial compared the long-term reproductive effects of two treatment strategies in women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): laparoscopic ovarian drilling versus gonadotropin analogs. Some background If conservative treatments (such as weight loss) fail, women with PCOS may be treated with fertility drugs to induce...
