OBJECTIVE: Studying the effect of GnRH antagonist administration on the day of hCG to cases of IVF/ICSI with estradiol level above 5000 ng/dl for protection of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. DESIGN: Prospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Sixty patients undergoing controlled hyperstimulation COH, for IVF/ICSI using long agonist and E2 level on the day ofhCG, are above 5000 ng/dl, 52 patients received single dose of cetrorelix 0.25 mg on the day of hCG, and 8 patients received two doses of 0.25 mg/day cetrorelix started one day before the day of hCG. RESULTS: There was no significant difference regarding patients BMI, number of stimulation days, recombinant FSH dose, and number of retrieved oocytes. Clinical pregnancy rate was 76.6% (46/60), in patients received single dose of antagonist PR were significantly higher 80.7% (42/52) versus 50% (4/8) in patients received two doses p = 0.047. Live birth rate was 50% (30/60), abortion rate was 20% (12/60), and preterm delivery was 20% (12/60). Mean E2 was 6853.2 ng/dl. Six patients developed moderate ovarian hyperstimulation OHSS (6/60) 10% and no cases of severe OHSS. CONCLUSIONS:GnRH antagonist administration on the day of hCG in cases undergoing IVF/ICSI with long agonist protocol is effective in protection of OHSS and does not affect the clinical pregnancy rate nor live birth rate.
