Dydrogesterone-Primed Ovarian Stimulation Protocol Versus Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Antagonist Protocol in ICSI

March 1, 2023 updated by: Zagazig University

Dydrogesterone-Primed Ovarian Stimulation Protocol Versus Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Antagonist Protocol in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Undergoing Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection

GnRH antagonist protocol is currently a good strategy for controlled ovarian stimulation in women with PCOS undergoing IVF/ICSI cycles. Finding a protocol that can be a better alternative will help in improving the success rate of IVF/ICSI cycles

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Progesterone has potent restraint on hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. It acts on unidentified hypothalamic pulse oscillator neurons. In turn, it acts on gonadotropins releasing hormone (GnRH) secreting neurons leading to inhibition of GnRH secretion. This results in inhibition of both luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion from anterior pituitary. The effect of progesterone appears to decrease GnRH pulse frequency which results in slowing down LH pulse frequency and reducing LH plasma concentrations

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group (A)
will be subjected to progestin primed ovarian stimulation protocol Women in group (A), will be prescribed 20 mg oral dose of dydrogesterone (Duphaston, Abbott) from the 2nd day of the cycle and continued until the trigger day. Transvaginal follicular monitoring will be done for all patients starting the 6th day of cycle.
