| Popis: | Background. The antagonists of gonadotrophin releasing hormon (ant GnRh) offer possibilities of using clomiphene citrate (CC) in ovarian stimulation regimens, because at the beginning of the controlled ovarian stimulation cycle the pituitary is fully susceptible to GnRH pulses.The aim of our study was to asses the succes of cycles stimulated with CC, gonadotrophins and ant GnRh.Methods. 40 cycles stimulated with CC, gonadotrophins and ant GnRH (first group) were analysed and compared with 226 cycles stimulated with gonadotrophins and ant GnRH (second group). We compared the mean number of ampouls of gonadotrophins, the administration of ampouls in days, the mean number of oocytes, the percent of normal fertilisation, the pregnancy rate per transfer and the pregnancy rate per cycle. The diffrent values of the variables were compared using Chi-square test and t-test.Results. The mean number of ampoules of gonadotrophines used and the mean number of days of stimulation were statisticaly significant lower in the first group of patients. The diferences in the mean number of oocytes, the percent of normal fertilisation, the pregnancy rate per transfer and the pregnancy rate per cycle between the groups were not statisticaly significant.Conclusions. Considering of our results, we can conclude that ovarian stimulation regimen with CC, gonadotrophins and ant GnRH offer comparable results with regimens with gonadotrophins and ant GnRH with lower number of ampoules used and shorter period of administration of gonadotrophins |
