title: Administration of alternate day triptorelin for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation is cost effective.
abstract: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists in an alternate-day dosage resulted in similar clinical pregnancy rates as the daily protocol. No premature luteinization was reported in either group. Total GnRH agonist dosage in the alternate-day protocol was significantly reduced.
