Abstract
Objective:
To compare live birth rates after dual trigger of oocyte maturation with GnRH agonist (GnRHa) and low-dose hCG versus GnRHa alone in high responders with peak E2
Design:
Retrospective cohort study.
Setting:
University-based tertiary-care fertility center.
Patient(s):
Patients
Intervention(s):
GnRHa alone versus dual trigger.
Main Outcome Measure(s):
Live birth, implantation, and clinical pregnancy rates and OHSS.
Result(s):
The dual-trigger group had a significantly higher live birth rate (52.9% vs. 30.9%), implantation rate (41.9% vs. 22.1%), and clinical pregnancy rate (58.8% vs. 36.8%) compared with the GnRHa trigger group. One case of mild OHSS occurred in the dual-trigger group, and there were no cases of OHSS in the GnRHa trigger group.
Conclusion(s):
Dual trigger of oocyte maturation with GnRHa and low-dose hCG in high responders with peak E2
