Treatment of polycystic ovary patients undergoing IVF

P N Barri et al. J Assist Reprod Genet. 1997 Jan.

Abstract

We believe that PCO patients can achieve good results in IVF cycles, provided that stimulation protocols appropriate to their hormonal profiles are used.

The dose of gonadotropin used seems to be more important than the type of gonadotropin. If there is a risk of ovarian hyperstimulation, it is useful to employ one of the strategies recommended to prevent development of genuine OHS, which may endanger the patient’s health.
