Summary

Ovarian stimulation will be done using the Microdose flare-up regimen. The patient will receive diluted doses of the GnRH agonist leuprolide acetate 40 µg, given subcutaneously twice daily. Two days later, stimulation will be initiated by intramuscular (IM) injections of HMG (Merional, IBSA, Germany) in a dose of 300 IU/day.

Follicular monitoring began from the ninth day of the cycle by serial vaginal ultrasonography and measurement of serum E2 levels. IM injections of 10000 IU HCG (Choriomon; IBSA, Germany) will be injected when at least 2 follicles 18 mm were observed on ultrasonography.

Oocytes willbe retrieved 36 hours after hCG injection using a 17-gauge aspiration needle under transvaginal ultrasound guidance. The pelvis is evaluated with ultrasound to ensure that there is no internal bleeding.

After fertilization was confirmed when two polar bodies and two pronuclear were observed 18-20 hours after insemination, one to three grade A embryos were transferred at day 3 fertilization.

The luteal phase support will be initiated from the day of oocyte retrieval for all patients with (Cyclogest 400 mg, Actavis pharmaceutical, UK) vaginal suppositories per day till the day of serum pregnancy test was done.

Conditions

  • Invitro Fertilization

Interventions

DRUG

cabergoline

Cabergoline was administered in a dose of 1 mg/week in two divided doses which was terminated after embryo transfer

DRUG

Aspirin

Aspirin was administered in daily dose of 80 mg initiated at the start of down-regulation with luteal leuprolide

DRUG

GnRH agonist

Microdose flare-up regimen. The patient received diluted doses of the GnRH agonist leuprolide acetate 40 µg, given subcutaneously twice daily. Two days later, stimulation is initiated by intramuscular (IM) injections of HMG (Merional, IBSA, Germany) in a dose of 300 IU/day.
