Abstract:
The predictive value of the metoclopramid-provocation test to detect transient hyperprolactinemia during cycle stimulation was assessed. Patients developing hyperprolactinemia during cycle stimulation showed a significantly higher PRL response to the metoclopramid-provocation test before cycle stimulation. The current study confirms previous reports that hyperprolactinemia during cycle stimulation can interfere with follicular and oocyte maturation. The use of the metoclopramid-test can detect an enhanced responsiveness to PRL stimulators and offers the possibility of treatment during cycle stimulation.
