Abstract

Our results confirm the previous report that rapid suppression by GnRH-a is favorable relative to delayed suppression (1). They further indicate that the pattern of E2 production during GnRH-a-induced ovarian suppression may be predictive of cycle outcome. We suggest that imperfect pituitary suppression of bioactive LH as indicated by an aberrant rise in E2 during GnRH-a down-regulation may compromise oocyte quality and ultimately impair implantation. Further study of follicular phase E2 response to GnRH-a suppression may provide a prognostic marker for implantation.
