title: [From theory to clinical practice: recombinant FSH in daily practice].
abstract: The purpose of the present study is to determine the efficacy of induction ovulation with recombinant FSH in patients treated with in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and basic assisted reproductive techniques (ART). One hundred seven cycles were analyzed. The patients were divided in two groups: Group 1, treated with IVF (n = 12) and group 2, treated with basic ART (n = 95). Only recombinant FSH was utilized for ovulation induction; human corionic gonadotropin (hCG), 10,000 IU, were administered when one or more dominant follicles with diameter > or = 18 mm were presents; oocyte retrieval was performed 34 hour, while intrauterine insemination was practiced at 36 hours after the hCG injection. The pregnancy rate per IVF cycle was 25.0%, and 16.4% for basic ART. It is concluded that ovulation induction with recombinant FSH is a good and efficient alternative for both variations of ART.
