Popis: Abstract Purpose Can relugolix, a novel oral gonadotropin‐releasing hormone receptor (GnRH) antagonist, function as an alternative ovulation inhibitor to GnRH antagonist injections? Methods This single‐center, cross‐sectional retrospective study compared premature ovulation rates and clinical outcomes in IVF treatment after mild ovarian stimulation with 40 mg of relugolix (relugolix group) or 0.25‐mg injections of ganirelix acetate or cetrorelix acetate (injection group) between March 2019 and January 2020. Of 247 infertile women (256 IVF cycles) aged ≤42 years, 223 women (230 cycles) were evaluated. In the relugolix and injection groups, we compared 104 and 85 cycles after GnRH antagonist use before the LH surge (LH levels
