Mild IVF using GnRH agonist long protocol is possible: Comparing stimulations with 100 IU vs. 150 IU recombinant FSH as starting dose

Purpose To test the possibility of stimulating ovaries with a mild IVF approach using a GnRH agonist long protocol. Methods Retrospective study of 142 first IVF cycles of women aged 30 to 35 who had undergone stimulation with 100 IU or 150 IU of rFSH. Results The mean dose of rFSH used was smaller i...
