Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe two consecutive spontaneous pregnancies during luteal-phase down-regulation with a GnRH-a. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: University-affiliated reproductive medicine unit. PATIENT(S): A 33-year-old woman with a history of failed uterine tubal reanastomosis. INTERVENTION(S): Four IVF cycles. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Pregnancy. RESULT(S): The patient had two spontaneous pregnancies during luteal-phase down-regulation. CONCLUSION(S): Although midluteal administration of GnRH-a is not established as a treatment, there might be a beneficial effect on the endometrium via the medication's evoked gonadotropin flare.
