Abstract:In women undergoing in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer(TVF-ET), a total of 408IVF cycles were stimulated using humanmenopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) or pure follicle stimulatinghormone (FSH) plus HMG in combination with a single injectionof D-Trp6-LHRH microcapsules in order to enhance the ovarianresponse to gonadotrophins and to avoid spontaneous LH surges.Sixty-seven pregnancies were achieved. Two protocols were employed.In protocol 1 (‘blocking protocol’, n = 268), thepituitary was first inhibited with a full dose (3.75 mg) ofD-Trp6-LHRH in microcapsules and ovarian stimulation was startedafter the hypogonadotrophic hypogonadal state was ascertained(Ej >50 pg/ml). In protocol 2 (‘flareup protocol’,n = 140), the treatment with D–Trp6LHRH microcapsules(half-dose = 1.80 mg) and the ovarian stimulation with gonadotrophinswere started at the same time. Higher doses of gonadotrophinswere needed (39.5 11.2 ampoules FSH and/or HMG) in protocol1, in which the pituitary was blocked prior to and during thestimulation, than in protocol 2 (209 ampoules) where the exogenousgonadotrophin stimulation appeared to be augmented by the initialagonistic effect of the injection of D-Trp6LHRH microcapsules.In patients with purely tubal infertility, under 38 years oldand no male factor, the results obtained with protocols 1 and2 were similar in terms of pregnancy rate per cycle or per embryotransfer: 22.6 versus 20.5% and 28.3 versus 27.4%, respectively.However, considering the cost benefit, ‘flare-up’protocols appeared to be a better choice and could be recommended.
