EC Gynaecology

The number of babies born from assisted reproductive technology is increasing year by year. During this procedure some drugs are used to stimulate the ovaries. The combination of drugs and their dosing is known as a “protocol” which are designed to achieve maximum oocyte yields. Although the doses and rates are always a matter of debate.

Luteinizing hormone is essential for normal follicular development and oocyte maturation. Nevertheless, the use of this drug in an ovarian stimulation cycle has been widely discussed.

This review evaluates the effect of recombinant luteinizing hormone supplementation on ovarian stimulation and the outcomes in reproductive medicine the most recent studies.
