Successive Doses of GnRH Agonist Versus Single Dose of GnRH Agonist to Trigger Ovulation in Hyper-responders

May 6, 2026 updated by: Bedaya Hospital

Successive Doses of GnRH Agonist Versus Single Dose of GnRH Agonist to Trigger Ovulation in Hyper-responders Undergoing IVF Cycle : A Randomized Controlled Study.

The aim of this randomized controlled study is to compare the efficacy of three successive doses of a GnRH agonist ( administered 36 , 24 and 12 hours before oocyte retrieval ) with a single dose of a GnRH agonist ( administered 36 hours before oocyte retrieval ) in triggering ovulation in hyper-responders

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Successive doses GnRH agonist
Three successive doses of GnRH agonist are administered 36 , 24 and 12 hours before oocyte retrieval
GnRH agonist ( Triptorelin ) ( 0.2 mg / S.C ) is administered 36 hours before ovum pickup. Two additional doses of triptorelin ( 0.1 mg / S.C ) are administered subcutaneously 12 and 24 hours after the first dose of GnRH agonist.
Active Comparator: Single dose GnRH agonist
A single dose of GnRH agonist is administered 36 hours before oocyte retrieval
GnRH agonist ( Triptorelin ) ( 0.2 mg / S.C ) is administered 36 hours before ovum pickup.
