全冷凍胚胎之IVF病人可用utrogestan (100 or 200 mg 均可)控制LH surge (MC day3 to HCG day), 取代傳統腦下垂體抑制針GnRHagonist
Fertil Steril. 2016 Nov 16. pii: S0015-0282(16)62953-9. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2016.10.030. [Epub ahead of print]
The use of Utrogestan during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in normally ovulating women undergoing in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatments in combination with a "freeze all" strategy: a randomized controlled dose-finding study of 100 mg versus 200 mg.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To compare the clinical characteristics in a Utrogestan and hMG protocol with the use of different doses of Utrogestan in normally ovulating women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatments.
DESIGN:
Prospective controlled study.
SETTING:
Tertiary-care academic medical center.
PATIENT(S):
A total of 150 infertile patients undergoing IVF/ICSI treatments.
INTERVENTION(S):
Utrogestan and hMG were administered simultaneously beginning on cycle day 3. The dose of Utrogestan was 100 mg/d in the study group and 200 mg/d in the control group. When the dominant follicles reached mature, 0.1 mg GnRH agonist was used for trigger. Viable embryos were cryopreserved in both protocols for later transfer.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):
The primary outcome measure was the incidence of premature LH surge. Secondary outcomes included the embryo results and clinical pregnancy outcomes.
RESULT(S):
Consistent LH suppression was achieved during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with Utrogestan at 100 mg, and the number of patients with profound LH suppression (LH <1.2 IU/L) in the low-dose group was significantly less than that in the high-dose group. The number of oocytes retrieved in the low-dose group was similar to that in the high-dose group (9.87 ± 5.77 vs. 10.25 ± 5.43). No significant differences were observed in the number of mature oocytes, viable embryos, clinical pregnancy rate, or implantation rate.
CONCLUSION(S):
Utrogestan at 100 mg is as effective as Utrogestan at 200 mg in reducing premature LH surge during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.
Utrogestan as an effective oral alternative for preventing premature luteinizing hormone surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for in vitro fertilization.
Abstract
A major cause of cycle cancellation during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) is the occurrence of premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surges. Steroidal preparations can modulate the secretion of gonadotropins (Gn); however, few studies using progesterone to inhibit the premature LH surges in COH have been published. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the oral delivery of progesterone soft capsules (Utrogestan) to prevent LH surges from the follicular phase and to compare cycle characteristics as well as to evaluate pregnancy outcomes in subsequent frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. A total of 374 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study, among which 187 patients were simultaneously administered Utrogestan and human menopausal gonadotrophin (hMG) from cycle day 3 until the trigger day. A short protocol including 187 controls with comparable age, body mass index (BMI), infertility duration, and antral follicle count was also used. GnRH agonist (0.1 mg) or hCG (3000 IU) was used for a trigger when the dominant follicles matured. Viable embryos were cryopreserved for later transfer in both groups. The primary outcome was the number of oocytes retrieved. The secondary outcomes included the number of mature oocytes, incidence of premature LH surge, and clinical pregnancy outcomes from FET cycles. Consistent LH suppression was achieved during COH, with a range of 0.07 to 8.9 IU/L, and no premature LH surge was detected. The number of oocytes retrieved in the Utrogestan and hMG protocol was comparable with that in the short protocol (10.92 ± 5.74 vs 10.6 ± 6.22, P > 0.05), and the dose of hMG was higher than that used in the short protocol (1884.22 ± 439.47 IU vs 1446.26 ± 550.48 IU, P < 0.05). No significant between-group difference was observed in the mature oocyte rate (88.88% vs 90.12%), cleavage rate (96.58% vs 96.58%), clinical pregnancy rate (54.27% vs 51.65%), or implantation rate (33.59% vs 34.02%). The study shows that Utrogestan is an effective oral alternative for preventing premature LH surges in women undergoing COH, which will help to establish a convenient user regimen in combination with FET.
