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.
