Premature Luteinization Prevention by GnRH Antagonist in Patients Undergoing IUI (LP)

May 5, 2015 updated by: Juan A Garcia-Velasco, IVI Madrid

GnRH Antagonist Prevention of Premature Luteinization in Patients Undergoing IUI

Premature luteinization in patients undergoing IUI can occur in up to 24% of cycles. These patients, according to recent data, have a lower pregnancy rate than controls. The possibility to avoid premature luteinization with GnRH antagonist may restore the chances of achieving a pregnancy in these women.
