title: IVF pregnancy after induction of an ovulatory endogenous gonadotrophin surge using an LHRH agonist nasal spray.
abstract: A successful human twin IVF pregnancy is reported after using a single 50 micrograms dose of LHRH agonist nasal spray (Buserelin) to induce an ovulatory endogenous gonadotrophin surge 34 h prior to oocyte collection. The couple had 10 years of primary male factor infertility, associated with significant anti-sperm antibodies. The clinical features and endocrine profile are presented.
