RE Felberbaum, T Reissmann, W Küpker… - European Journal of …, 1995 - Elsevier
Objective: To examine the pituitary response in patients undergoing short-term application of
the GnRH antagonist Cetrorelix in the mid-cycle phase for hypophysial suppression of
premature LH surges within an IVF-program. Design: Twenty patients suffering from primary
or secondary tubal infertillty were stimulated with hMG from cycle day 2. From day 7 till
ovulation induction Cetrorelix was administered in two different dose regimens (15 patients
3 mg sc daily; 5 patients 1 mg sc daily). Three hours before ovulation induction a GnRH test …
