  Purpose

Conventional luteal phase support after human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) triggering in women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) provides adequate pregnancy rates and live birth rates, but Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) still occurs in 1-3% of the patients. If gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) are used instead of hCG, OHSS does not occur, but clinical results are somehow diminished.

By testing different luteal support protocols on women undergoing GnRHa triggering, the investigators aim to find out which protocol resembles the most the gene expression profile observed after hCG triggering and conventional luteal phase support, in order to choose it as the most adequate in terms of endometrium receptivity and safety (OHSS incidence).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • endometrial receptivity gene expression profile [ Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of the cycle, an expected average of 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Incidence of moderate/severe OHSS in all different treatment group [ Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of the cycle, an expected average of 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Mild OHSS Grade 1, abdominal distension and discomfort Grade 2, features of grade 1 plus nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea; ovaries are enlarged from 5 to 12 cm Moderate OHSS Grade 3, features of mild OHSS plus ultrasonic evidence of ascites Severe OHSS Grade 4, features of moderate OHSS plus evidence of ascites and/or hydrothorax and breathing difficulties Grade 5, all of the above, plus change in the blood volume, increased blood viscosity due to hemoconcentration, coagulation abnormality, and diminished renal perfusion and function
