Abstract

Objective

To compare the IVF/ICSI outcomes of the long GnRH agonist and the fixed GnRH antagonist protocol in women with PCOS.

Design

Randomized controlled trial.

Setting

Baskent University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Patients

Three hundred women with PCOS.

Interventions

IVF/ICSI following the long GnRH agonist down-regulation or the fixed GnRH antagonist protocols.

Main outcome measures

Ongoing pregnancy rates.

Results

Ongoing pregnancy rates were 36.4 % in the OCP + GnRH agonist group and 35.9 % in the OCP + GnRH antagonist group (p > 0.05). Progesterone levels on the day of hCG (0.76 ± 0.71 vs. 0.58 ± 0.50), endometrial thickness on the day of hCG (11.57 ± 2.50 vs. 10.50 ± 2.01), total gonadotropin used (1388.71 ± 482.39 vs. 1253.25 ± 415.81), and duration of COH (9.07 ± 1.96 vs. 8.39 ± 1.75) were significantly lower in the OCP + GnRH antagonist group.

Conclusion

The OCP + long GnRH agonist and the OCP + fixed GnRH antagonist protocols yield similar ongoing pregnancy rates in women with PCOS. Although this study consisting three hundred patients, seems to be large enough in a single center, we were not able to reach to the actual size of power analysis which was approximately 3,000.
