ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of GnRH antagonist multidose protocol (GnRH-ant MDP) with or without oral contraceptive (OC) pretreatment in low responders undergoing IVF-ET, compared with standard GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) lowdose long protocol (LP). METHODS: Eighty-two patients, aged 28-42 years who were defined as low responders were recruited for this prospective study and they were randomized to undergo GnRH-ant MDP after OC pretreatment (group 1) or GnRH-ant MDP without OC pretreatment (group 2) or GnRH-a luteal lowdose LP (group 3). All of the subjects were administered recombinant human FSH (rhFSH) for ovarian stimulation. RESULTS: Patients' characteristics were comparable among three groups. Total dose and duration of rhFSH used for COH were significantly higher in group 3 than those in group 1 or 2. The number of mature oocytes, fertilization rate and the number of grade I, II embryos were significantly lower in group 2 than those in other groups. The clinical pregnancy rate seemed to be lower in group 2 but the difference did not achieve statistical significance. There were also no differences in the miscarriage rate and multiple pregnancy rate among three groups. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that GnRH-ant MDP with OC pretreatment is as effective as GnRH-a lowdose LP and might be considered more advantageous because of the short-term and small dose application in low responders.
