title: Comparison of human chorionic gonadotropin and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist for final oocyte maturation in oocyte donor cycles.
abstract: In this retrospective study of 74 oocyte-donor IVF cycles, the rates of fertilization, implantation, clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy, and early pregnancy loss were similar after an agonist or hCG trigger. These findings suggest that the agonist trigger is a viable alternative for oocyte donors with significant risk factors for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
