Substituted Frozen Embryo Transfer Cycles With GnRH-agonist Supplementation

June 22, 2020 updated by: Peter Humaidan

The aim of this study is to compare two FET protocols by modifying the substituted FET cycle in order to maintain a higher ongoing positive pregnancy rate and thus reduce the early pregnancy loss.

Hypothesis: adding GnRH-agonist to the substituted cycle in FET treatment reduces the early pregnancy loss.
